42 Elm St, Albany, NY 12202

One bedroom basement apartment for rent on a beautiful, well-maintained block of Elm Street in the Mansion neighborhood. Apartment comes with its own off-street parking space in a small parking lot directly across the street. Blocks from the Empire State Plaza, the Capitol, the State Museum, and downtown, and a few minutes from 787. An easy walk to Lark Street/Center Square. One block from the Governor's Mansion, and the bus line to SUNY Albany/University at Albany. Great walking, jogging, and running around nearby Lincoln Park and the Empire State Plaza. The Mansion neighborhood is similar to Center Square (pretty, historic houses, downtown living), but more residential (less noise from bars, etc.) and rents are lower. Come take a look -- you may be pleasantly surprised! About the apartment: The floor is 1000 square feet in total, and includes a living room/kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, foyer, and shared storage closet. Apartment has new flooring throughout, and electric baseboard heaters in each room that work well, keeping the apartment cozy and warm. Bathroom has ceramic tile. Very responsible and responsive landlords live upstairs. One neutered cat is allowed with pet deposit. We generally do not rent to tenants with dogs, but will occasionally make an exception for a single, exceptionally well-behaved adult dog with references. Sorry, we're not able to consider pit bulls. Sorry, no smokers. (Not OK to smoke inside or outside since we live upstairs, smoke drifts in our and our kids bedroom windows.) We conduct thorough credit, employment, and background checks. Available immediately. January 1, January 15, and February 1 move-in dates will be considered.
