Room available in co-op in downtown Palo Alto

Hi! We’re a 10-year-old co-op in downtown Palo Alto, and we’re looking for someone new to move in! We strive to be a cooperative community that provides more than mere residential necessity, where the well-being of each individual and the group are prioritized. We do this by fostering a functional and aesthetic space for open dialogue, safe repose, good food, and abundant shenanigans, since 2012. Most of us here are graduate students, postdocs, or tech working millennials in our late twenties and early thirties, with a mix of guys and gals. We keep costs low by splitting professional cleaning service, internet, electricity, and groceries ($250-350/month). Food is central to our community and we share four vegetarian dinners per week.

The house was recently renovated with 2 full kitchens, 2 dishwashers, 2 washer/dryers, and a large back deck with a grill. Parts of the basement, including the available downstairs room, were renovated this month. The large back yard has a veggie & native plant garden, a hot tub, and 10 different fruit trees. The available room has a nice south-facing window. It shares a bathroom with 3 other rooms (there is another shared half bathroom one floor down and another shared full bathroom two floors down). It is available July 1.

We’re located just a few blocks from the shops and restaurants on University Ave, the Palo Alto Caltrain station, and Johnson Park. Stanford’s campus is a ~20-minute walk, ~10-minute bike ride, and 10-minute drive.

We are looking for someone who vibes well, is a good communicator, and has co-op enthusiasm! LGBTQ+, BIPOC all welcome. We are looking for folks who can commit to 1 year+ of rent.

You'll want to live here if you: enjoy cooking; enjoy eating; need people to play board games with; want people to go on weekend adventures with; or just want more community in your life.

Come on over for dinner to meet us!
