From the People You'd Live With

A quick note from Colten & Andrew

We're the two roommates you'd be sharing the apartment with, and we put this page together ourselves so nothing is a mystery. The master bedroom and its private bathroom are what's open — everything else (kitchen, living room, common areas) is already furnished and set up.

We listed this for flight crew on purpose. The house runs on quiet respect around the clock, since someone here is usually asleep at an odd hour, and the location is ridiculously convenient for both airports without paying crashpad-by-the-terminal prices.

Bills are boring by design: rent is $1,300, and we split the actual utility bills — electric, heat, hot water, WiFi — three ways, with the real statements shared each month. House rules are short: no smoking indoors, and overnight guests are fine with a heads-up. Apply below and you'll hear from us within 2–3 days.

Before You Apply

Flight Crew FAQ

This is a full private master suite — not a crashpad. Traditional crashpads mean shared "hot beds," rotating strangers, and zero personal space. Here, you get the large master bedroom plus your own private bathroom: your own key, generous closet space, and a bed no one else touches — along with full use of the fully furnished kitchen, living room, and common areas. It's a home you return to, not a bunk you borrow.

You'll share the home with just two roommates — Colten and Andrew — who keep the house calm, clean, and respectful of crew schedules. The kitchen, living room, and all common areas come fully furnished, so the home works from day one. Your master bedroom and private bathroom come unfurnished — furnishing them is your responsibility, which also means the space is entirely yours to set up exactly how you rest best.

Short list, on purpose: no smoking indoors (outside is fine), overnight guests are welcome with a heads-up to the house, and quiet respect runs 24/7 since someone is usually sleeping at an unusual hour. That's it — everything else is just being a decent roommate.

There's no washer/dryer in the unit — a laundromat is a few blocks away. WiFi is included in the three-way utility split, and every room has its own split-unit for heat and A/C, so you control your own temperature — day sleepers included.

Yes — the house culture is built around crew life. Because residents fly alternating schedules, quiet respect is a 24/7 standard, not just a 10 p.m. rule: soft-close habits, headphones in common areas, no parties, and real consideration for whoever is sleeping off a red-eye at 2 p.m. Blackout-friendly bedrooms and per-room climate control help you protect your rest windows.

LGA: Rideshare/car takes roughly 15–18 minutes; pickups are easy on this quiet block, even pre-dawn. By bus, catch the Q13 Rush or Q65 at your doorstep (Sanford Ave) — or the Q12 on Northern Blvd — to Flushing–Main St, then transfer to the Q90 Limited, which runs direct to LGA — plan on about 35–45 minutes total.

JFK: Drive the Van Wyck (about 15–25 minutes). By transit, the Q65 from your doorstep (Sanford Ave) terminates at Jamaica–Sutphin Blvd directly beneath AirTrain JFK — plan on about 50–65 minutes door-to-terminal.

Manhattan: Walk ~3 blocks to the Broadway LIRR station (Northern Blvd & 162nd St) for direct trains to Penn Station (~25 min) and Grand Central Madison — ideal for days off without touching a parking garage.

Pro tip: With safe, abundant street parking here, keeping a car for airport runs is actually practical — a genuine rarity this close to Flushing's core.

Rent is $1,300 per month for the large private master bedroom with its own private bathroom, plus full use of the furnished kitchen, living room, and common areas. The bedroom and private bath come unfurnished — furnishing them is your responsibility. Utilities — electric (including heat and A/C from the split units), hot water, and WiFi — are split three ways (1/3 each), with the actual statements shared monthly. No markups. Move-in total is $2,600 (first month + one-month security deposit, returned within 14 days of move-out per NY law), on a 12-month lease with no broker fee.

You'll receive an instant thank-you email confirming receipt, and the landlord is notified directly.
