The Space
New finishes throughout: wide-plank oak-style floors, a stainless kitchen, marble-tiled rain shower, split-unit climate control in every room, and generous closet space. You get the large master bedroom with its own private bathroom — a blank canvas you furnish and make your own — while the kitchen, living room, and all common areas come fully furnished. You'll share the home with just two roommates, Colten and Andrew — plus Jamie, a friendly indoor dachshund you'll meet below.

From the People You'd Live With
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.

— Colten & Andrew
Who's Home
An adventurous traveler at heart and an airline professional, Colten is happiest chasing new places and experiences. That perspective shapes what he builds off the clock, too: a live-music platform designed around fair, transparent payouts for artists, venue staff, and creators — and a social platform built exclusively for flight attendants to connect and build community across global routes.
Also an airline professional, Andrew is the house's walking guide to New York City — hidden corners, historic trails, scenic overlooks, and the five boroughs' best authentic Italian food. Off duty he's a devoted Disney fan, an avid Nintendo gamer with a highly curated Animal Crossing island, and a reality-TV strategist who never misses a move inside the Big Brother house.
Jamie is Colten's 2-year-old dachshund (born October 15) — warm, endlessly cuddly, and the liveliest member of the house. Andrew is her officially designated "Cool Uncle," mostly because he sneaks the extra treats. She's strictly an indoor pup: fully apartment-trained with puppy pads in one designated spot that's cleaned the moment she's done, up to date on every shot and vaccination, with a spotless record. She warms up to new faces at her own pace, so every move-in starts with a meet-and-greet playdate — for her comfort and yours.
Transit · Parking · Safety
Every minute between sign-in and sleep matters. Here's exactly how this address performs.
42-06 161st St
Flushing, NY 11358
LaGuardia Airport
15–18 min by car
Short, predictable rideshare hops even at dawn sign-ins. By bus: Q12 on Northern Blvd (2 blocks) to Flushing–Main St, then the new Q90 Limited direct to LGA — about 35–45 min total.
John F. Kennedy Intl.
15–25 min by car
Straight down the Van Wyck by car or rideshare. By transit: the Q65 (Sanford Ave, ~3 blocks) runs direct to Jamaica–Sutphin Blvd, right beneath AirTrain JFK — about 50–65 min total.
Broadway Station · Port Washington Branch
~25 min to Penn Station
The Broadway LIRR station (Northern Blvd & 162nd St) is just ~3 blocks from your door — direct trains to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison, roughly every 30 min off-peak. Murray Hill station is one stop west.
Buses at Your Corner (current routes under the 2025 Queens Bus Network Redesign)
Q65 Local — at your doorstep (Sanford Ave) · west to Flushing–Main St, or south direct to Jamaica–Sutphin Blvd for the LIRR + AirTrain JFK
Q13 Rush — at your doorstep (Sanford Ave) · limited-stop west to Flushing–Main St, or east to Fort Totten via Bell Blvd
Q12 Local — Northern Blvd, 2 blocks north · local stops between Flushing–Main St and Little Neck
Q90 Limited — from Flushing–Main St · direct to LaGuardia via Willets Point (replaced the Q48 in 2025)
Real walking distances from 42-06 161st St
Abundant, safe residential street parking available on a quiet block—a rarity for Flushing. Keep a car for airport runs without the nightly parking hunt.
A secure, peaceful residential block ideal for crew members returning at odd hours. Well-lit streets, established neighbors, and a calm you can feel the moment the car door closes at 2 a.m.
Beyond the Front Door
Everything a crew member needs, with real distances from the front door — whether you land hungry, need supplies, or just want green space and quiet. See the map in Transit & Safety for the full picture.
The blocks around the Murray Hill LIRR station are Queens' famous Korean food alley (먹자골목): charcoal KBBQ at Mapo (a NYT "100 Best NYC Restaurants" pick), Hahm Ji Bach, Han Joo, plus Korean fried chicken, stews, and cafés open late.
The bustling Northern Blvd shopping and dining district starts two blocks from the door — cafés, bakeries, delis, and late-night eats that fit any post-trip appetite or clock-scrambled schedule.
Low-lit cocktail lounges, Korean pocha (late-night pubs), and karaoke rooms tucked along the corridor offer a quiet, classy nightcap — no velvet-rope crowds, just good pours close to home.
Before You Apply
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, plus Jamie, Colten's friendly 2-year-old indoor dachshund (meet everyone in the "Meet the Roommates" section above). 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.
Yes — Jamie, a 2-year-old dachshund, lives here (worth knowing if you have allergies). She's strictly indoors, fully apartment-trained with a single designated puppy-pad spot that's cleaned immediately, and up to date on all shots and vaccinations. Because she takes a little time to warm up to new people, every move-in starts with a meet-and-greet playdate. Your own pet? Case-by-case — it mostly comes down to how they and Jamie get along, which is exactly what the meet-and-greet is for.
Short and transparent: no smoking indoors (outside is fine); overnight guests welcome with a heads-up, up to 5 days (longer stays need a written agreement); quiet respect runs 24/7 since someone is usually sleeping at an unusual hour. For shared security there's a security system and a motion camera in the common area only — full access is shared with everyone in the house, including you. Household notices and monthly utility statements are posted as PDFs in our custom roommate app (iOS), and once a quarter we plan an optional roommate outing announced at least a month ahead. Policies are designed with NYC housing and landlord-tenant rules in mind.
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.
