Hi folks! We are starting the process of seeking roommates to join our warm, easy-going, and supportive light-filled and five-person home next fall (with the possibility to sublet this summer as well).

Our house culture is laid-back and communal, and grounded in a mutual sense of respect and responsibility for each other, each other’s space, and the house. We value direct communication and sense of community, as well as kindness and consideration in looking out for each other. A generosity of spirit as well as flexibility and openness permeates much of how we live together. We value a balance of independence and sociality, as well as sharing different perspectives as we come from different fields and interests. Thus far we’ve shared semi-regular house dinners and very much enjoy each other’s company but also value independence and are largely doing our own thing.

We are currently three female graduate students and two young professionals in our mid- to late- twenties with interests including tea (we have an impressive shared collection), hiking, vegetarian cooking, piano, guitar, travel, running, partner dancing, wine, and joking around. Some people graduating and are still in flux with their plans, so we will have two to four rooms opening up for next year’s lease (the lease starts Aug. 15th, but we may have some flexibility with move-in dates).

We’re looking for students or professionals who can fit in with the above and are looking forward to making a contribution to our homey atmosphere. We prefer our new housemates to be non-smokers, neat, clean, respectful, considerate, open-minded, and queer-friendly (and we’ve gotten inquiries, but our lease unfortunately doesn’t allow for pets).

The available rooms range in price from $875/month (the smallest room, still decently sized and comfortably fits a full bed) to $1230/month (the master bedroom with its own private bathroom). The house is a beautiful Eichler style home, with tons of natural light from skylights and copious windows, generous living room (with the world’s most comfortable couches and a working fireplace), great kitchen (with a gas range), 3 bathrooms, and a big backyard (complete with a hammock for lounging). The location is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood across the street from a park, an easy bike ride away from Stanford’s campus, and close to grocery stores and restaurants.

The rooms will be available with flexible move-in around late august or early september, and some rooms may be available for summer sublet as well (at least one!). We will require joining a year-long joint lease (rent amounts may go up slightly, but our landlord is great, so probably not by much). A security deposit of $1000 is required, alongside good credit, and landlord references.

If this all sounds good, please drop us an email with some information about yourself, what you’re looking for in a living situation, and why you might want to join our house. We look forward to hearing from you.
