We’re seeking new members for our cooperative living community! We have one space opening up–

Late-September/Early October 2025: Master bedroom available for long-term tenant (~$850/mo for couples; ~$1300 for single).

Idyllwild is located in Los Altos Hills (~10 min drive from Stanford's campus, ~25 min bike), a spot that feels quite remote but is conveniently close to the Page Mill exit of 280. Perks of the locale include plentiful walking paths with panoramic views of the Bay Area, destination road biking routes, and a flourishing wildlife population featuring wild turkeys, coyotes, and our bougie neighbors’ horses. This could be a difficult location if you do not have a car or some solid bike legs.

The house is currently eight people, and almost everyone has prior experience with cooperative living. We are ages 24-31 and currently most of us have some affiliation with Stanford (grad students/staff). We are an inclusive space, and several of us identify with some flavor of queerness. We are invested in building an intentional community and we enjoy spending time together, and we’re hoping for housemates who are also interested in contributing to the social atmosphere. We eat dinner together most nights, watch a lot of movies in the living room, and like having friends over. Housemates also go out together for beach days, to hike or climb, or to go thrift shopping and dance in the city.

We have a communal grocery system facilitated by a Costco membership and two fridges, which makes it easy to cook together informally as well as for our weekly house dinners. Utilities + all food and other shared house costs usually come to ~$350/mo. We expect everyone to pitch in on cleaning up after group meals and keeping common spaces neat; each housemate is responsible for a weekly chore, and every few months we’ll do a deep clean as a group. We have a strong preference for residents who can commit to staying for at least six months (the longer the better!). There is parking available for all tenants. Unfortunately, our landlord has a strict no pets policy for dogs/cats/pigs, but an animal that doesn’t roam free might be ok.

Current room available: The room is a very spacious the master bedroom with access to the balcony and its own bathroom, shower, and two closets. It gets plenty of sunlight during the day. The previous residents will leave all furniture free of charge. This includes mattress, coffee table, desk, gaming chair, and drawers.

The room is available both for couples ($850/month) and singles ($1300) not including utilities/food costs.

If Idyllwild sounds like a good fit for you, please reach out to leilani.tian@gmail.com telling us a bit about yourself. We’ll set up a quick screening call first, and if it seems like a potential match we can arrange a time to visit in person and meet the whole house.
