BUSHWICK NYC SHARED APARTMENT FOR RENT
Introduction:
Bushwick is a diverse, multi-culture, fast rising neighborhood in Brooklyn. Bushwick was chartered in 1661 by Peter Stuyvesant, and was originally named Boswijck. This area was a woodland and farmland for over 100 years, until the late 1880s when new routes of transportation rapidly turned the area into a rapidly growing entertainment center for residents. This rapid growth was not sustainable, and by the mid 1900s the neighborhood was failing. This fall came to a head on the night of July 13, 1977, when the blackout of New York City caused so much looting and rioting that Bushwick would lose 300 million dollars in damage costs (according to an article on historicgreenpoint.wordpress.com). The catastrophical night almost marked an end for Bushwick, as many debated if the neighborhood was even worth putting back together. Luckily, the area prevailed, and has seen a massive rebound. The gentrification of the town has turned Bushwick into a safe, exciting place to live with scenic views, a thrilling nightlife, and activities for families to enjoy.

Finding the Perfect Roommate:
Finding the perfect living space for you and the perfect neighborhood that matches your lifestyle is sometimes only half the battle. As prices rise it can be necessary to find a roommate to split the cost of living. While potentially challenging, it is essential to take your time and all necessary precautions to ensure that your living conditions will be feasible. Remember, whoever you choose will be someone you will see in your home everyday. Here is a list of tips to keep in mind when choosing a roommate:
1. List out what you expect of a roommate. Before you begin any screening processes, list out what the ideal roommate would be like and what they need to contribute.
2. Ask potential roommates difficult questions. It’s important to get a good sense of character. The more you know about your candidates upfront, the less risk you have to take on someone you don’t know.
3. Figure out what your potential roommate expects of you. This is equally as important as telling them what you expect. You’re just as much their roommate as they are yours.
4. Think outside of people you know. There are seven billion people on Earth. Don’t limit yourself to friends and family.
5. Don’t assume that a close friend will be an automatic match. Even best friends can grow apart when living together. Everyone has a different way of living and friendship isn’t guaranteed to bring that chemistry.
6. TAKE YOUR TIME! There is no need to rush. Big decisions take time.
