Description

I am a Professor Emeritus based in Boston seeking an apartment in New York City for 26-27 academic year. My preference is for a home in Manhattan or Brooklyn, with convenient access to public transportation. Photos are from when I bought the home - recent photos available soon. About me: I have served as a full-time professor for over 30 years. I have rented and exchanged homes in the U.S. and abroad, and am known as a reliable and considerate tenant. References are available upon request. What I am looking for: One- or two-bedroom apartment or small house. Quiet environment with good natural light Reliable internet connection Neighborhoods of interest include the Upper West Side, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Park Slope, and surrounding areas Dates flexible if needed, with the possibility of extending into summer 2027 Rental or exchange: I am open to either a direct rental or a home exchange. My Boston home (if exchange is of interest) is quiet, comfortable, and conveniently located near public transportation. Highlights include: Electricity included, provided by solar panels One-car garage, plus a large driveway and free on-street parking Located just 1 mile from the Needham commuter rail line, with a direct 15-minute ride to Boston Easy access to Boston museums, universities, and cultural life Close to Olmsted parks including the Emerald Necklace and Arnold Arboretum, with a supermarket, YMCA, and small businesses within walking distance Note: heat and gas are not included, but the home is efficient and easy to manage.
