Finding housing in the bay sucks. Paying $1,000 for half a room in a hacker house is more than some people pay for a 3 bedroom house (it might be in Phoenix, but still it's ridiculous).

That is all said to preface how surprised I was when I found this home. The price was average-ish but it came with so much more than anywhere else offered -- and I don't just mean the big house or amenities (wi-fi and 2x/mo cleaners are included with rent). I found my family, the people I hang out with and get along with. That's who we're looking to attract, someone who cares to join the family.

Without further ado, details on the room/house:

It's 1 room in a 7br/4.5ba house in Redwood City for 1,275. built-in speakers in kitchen, hardwood floors, and a big beautiful yard.

less than 1 mile to the Redwood City Caltrain Station and downtown area, Safeway, Philz Coffee, Peet's Coffee, Fox Theatre, Cinemark, Box Inc., El Camino Real and 101 Freeways

If you think you'd be a good fit, come on by and meet the roomies and see a housing situation that doesn't suck ;)
