The Joys of Craigslist.

I was really lucky and found a great sublet here in Washington Heights. My roommates are fun and quiet and clean, the apartment is huge and my room is fully furnished. Unfortunately for me I need to move out Nov. 1, so the search for another place to live begins.

 Now I have two jobs, so I think I can start the process of applying for my own apartment. However, I then need to deal with real estate agents, brokers fees, and finding furniture ( not to mention kitchen utensils, bathroom supplies, setting up utilities etc.) I'm 23 and it's about time I get my own place (with or without a roommate.) I've never actually lived alone. It's possible, but not preferred.

Anyway, I'm still searching the NYC craigslist sublet section just in case there's a place that looks promising. I would love to stay on the Upper West Side so my commute to work isn't bad, but I've heard a lot of good things about Brooklyn.

Here are some craigslist postings that made me laugh:
