I'm looking for someone to take over the lease on my beautiful 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment in Brooklyn starting in December! Please read the full post before reaching out. Location: Wingate / Prospect Lefferts Gardens (PLG) The building is located on the corner of New York Avenue and Hawthorne Street, just 4 blocks from Prospect Park! I've lived in this apartment for 3 years and absolutely LOVE both the space and the surrounding neighborhood. A little about the apartment: * 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom * HUGE living room with plenty of space to entertain and host friends/family gatherings * Top-floor unit, making it incredibly quiet * Large private balcony connected to the apartment, with plenty of room for morning coffee or a full outdoor furniture set with a table and chairs * Full kitchen with full-sized appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, oven, and fridge/freezer * The ever-elusive NYC luxury: a full-sized, in-unit washer/dryer! * Tons of natural light from two sides * Pets and smoking not allowed Building amenities (all included in rent): * Exclusive elevator opens onto apartment * Fully equipped gym and a bike room * Private package room * Ground floor indoor parking garage with rental spaces There are tons of cute cafes, restaurants, and bars nearby, and the neighborhood is lovely, safe, and family-friendly. Rent & Lease Details * Rent: $2,850/month, including all utilities except electricity * Security deposit: $2,850 (equivalent to one month's rent) * Total required at move-in: $5,700 (first month's rent + security deposit) * Flexible move-in date between December 1st and December 15th, 2026 * Current lease runs through March 31, 2027 * The landlord is looking for someone to take over the remainder of the current lease and would prefer someone interested in signing a longer-term lease beyond March 2027, but is very flexible regarding lease length after the initial 4 months. Leases though to August 2027 and March 2028 are available. * Apartment will be unfurnished upon move-in This is an incredible deal for a 1-bedroom with these amenities and proximity to Prospect Park, where comparable units are renting for $3,200$3,600/month! A little about the landlord: The landlord, Josh, is extremely responsive and genuinely sweet. Any minor issue I've had over the last 3 years have been addressed immediately. We have open lines of direct communication via text and phone call, which is practically unheard of in NYC! I've had a wonderful experience living here.
