Young New Yorkers with Unconventional NYC Housing Setups

What’s your weirdest NYC housing setup? (Looking to talk to people for a story on how young New Yorkers make it work) Hey everyone — I’m writing a story about how young people find creative ways to live in NYC despite the rent. I’m looking to talk to people who’ve had unconventional housing arrangements — past or present. That could mean things like: Living in a railroad apartment or right by the subway tracks Sleeping in a “flex” room made with temporary walls Turning a living room into a bedroom (or vice versa) Living in someone’s converted office, dining room, or walk-in closet Sharing a space with an older roommate, subletting without a lease, or other unique setups Basically, anything that makes people say: “Wait, you live where?” 😅 I’m especially curious about why people make these choices — what you’re chasing, what makes it worth it, and how you think about “home” in a city like this. If you’re open to chatting for 10–15 minutes, I’d love to hear your story. Your name and details can stay anonymous. Comment or DM me if you’re interested — thank you! 🗽🏠
