I realize this might be a bit of a long shot, but figured it could still be worth putting out there.
I’m a late-30s male working in banking, looking for someone interested in splitting a nicer 2BR apartment. Ideally in central LIC or on the East Side (somewhere between Kips Bay and Yorkville). Instead of paying ~$3,500 for a studio on my own, I’d rather team up and get a place with more space and a living room, in a building with solid amenities (at minimum a gym and laundry in the building or in-unit).
I know this is somewhat of a niche search since people with a similar budget probably don’t want roommates (anymore), but I figured there might be someone in a similar situation who’d want more value for money. Lease is up at the end of August so that's roughly the start date I'm looking at.

A bit about me: I am on a hybrid schedule, working remote 2 days a week. I consider myself pretty laid-back overall, not overly neat but definitely not messy either. I’m into sports, board / video games, good food, and the occasional drink. I don’t cook properly all that often (lazy and inefficient to cook for just myself), but I do enjoy it when I actually get around to it. Non-smoker, and absolutely open to having a dog and/or cat join the party.
About the roommate: a working professional with reliable income and a budget of 2,700-3,500, and a non-smoker. Pets are cool, hosting friends from time to time is fine too. I don't mind paying a bit more for the master bedroom but can also arrange with the smaller bedroom as long as I can fit my work-setup somewhere in the apartment.
Feel free to send me a message here so we can exchange proper contact details.
