About

Hey, howahhhya? I’m Jake. I’m a Massachusetts transplant, recent college grad, and young professional looking for a roommate or two in N. Brooklyn! First things first: Fully vaxxed. This is my first time searching for an apartment in New York, but I went to school in the city and know the area fairly well. I am working remotely at the moment, but will begin working out of the Financial District in the fall. I’m a paralegal at a mid-size firm, which means that most days are 9-to-5 for me, but it won’t be entirely out of the ordinary for me not to make it home until 10 or 11 every once in a while. I sleep from about 11:00pm to 6:00 on weekdays. On weekends, anything goes — thought it’s not usually anything tooooo extreme. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking (Italian/Italian-American cuisine, mostly), bar-hopping, reading, hitting the gym, doing yoga, going to shows, hiking, biking, checking out new restaurants, and playing the guitar. I’m generally tidy, but not in a persnickety way. I tend to keep my personal space pretty meticulously organized, and I’m a fan of clean common spaces. Occasional clutter isn’t an issue, though. I’m a total ambivert. I love late nights out with friends, but I do enjoy the occasional Friday night in with a book, too. I’m chill with gatherings/parties being held in the apartment, so long as they don’t escalate into total chaos/debauchery. I am in a long-term relationship and am looking for a roommate/roommates who are cool with my partner staying over a few times a month. I’m allergic to most pets, unfortunately. Wicked 4/20-friendly :-) My budget is capped at $1300. Hoping to keep things under $1200, but I’m able to be a little flexible if necessary. Really hoping to live in Williamsburg, though I’m not entirely opposed to checking out surrounding neighborhoods. Aiming for a Sept 1 or Sept 15 move-in. So, yeah, that’s me! If none of this totally turned you off, and if you’re looking for a roommate who’s down to hang out/share a meal from time to time, I’m your guy. Doubly so if you’re a Pats/Sox fan. IG: @j.d.tibbetts
