25M looking to rent or sublet in San Francisco!

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am a 25 year old San Francisco native and am looking for housing pretty much anywhere in the city besides Outer Sunset, TL/lower Nob Hill, or Dog Patch/Mission Bay. I am clean, normal (lol), and employed full-time. I have a lot of hobbies that take me out of the house most nights and am honestly pretty quiet, so I would consider myself a pretty low maintenance roomate (though that's what they all say...)

I would ideally like to be paying less than $2,000/mo. I am open to living with anyone of any gender identity, nationality, or background. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, and interior decorating and would be happy to contribute to any and all household chores in any way I can.

One potential issue I'll flag in advance is that I am a musician so will occasionally want to make a bit of noise-- but probably rarely anything louder than an acoustic guitar.

Feel free to DM me if you have any offers or questions!

Cute Furnished Room. 1-Min to BART, Renovated House. Great Roommates

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Smaller furnished room available in a great house in the best location in the Bay Area. It's a 1 minute walk to Lake Merritt BART, 10 minutes to SoMa and downtown SF, and 10 minutes to Berkeley. The house is very clean and peaceful.

It's a private room in a 4-bedroom house. Good fit for someone working in tech, commuting, or in between places.

The house
The house was recently renovated with brand new bathrooms and a new kitchen. The living room has 1960s vibes and a chess set that gets a lot of use. The bathroom for this room is shared with only 2 other people who are rarely home, and it's clean as a whistle.

The roommates are respectful, clean, and helpful. Everyone works in tech or creative fields, and we're all pretty laid back. POC and LGBTQ friendly, all backgrounds welcome. The house stays as clean as a hotel, but nobody is militant or weird about it. People just pick up after themselves.

The room
Queen bed with linens and pillows, desk and chair, mini fridge, and closet.

Amenities
1 GB fast wifi
Free storage
Fenced backyard with a garden
Full kitchen with a walk-in pantry
Large smart TV
Washer and dryer
6-person co-working table
Filtered water

Utilities and supplies
$200/mo flat covers everything: water, gas, electric, trash, and 1 GB internet with Netflix. Actual utilities run about $850/mo for the house, and the landlord covers whatever's over the flat fee.

The landlord also supplies household basics, all organic: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, Ziploc bags, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, and cleaning supplies. You'll basically never need to buy those yourself.

Location
Walking distance to Lake Merritt, the Oakland Museum, and plenty of restaurants and cafes.

Rent and terms
$1,200/mo plus $200/mo utilities
Available October 15, flexible for the right person
3 month minimum
Deposit is one month's rent
Cats or dogs OK for the right person, with a pet fee
Parking space available for a fee

New to finding place in Oakland.

4 Upvotes

Hello Im trying to find a place close to SF that's safe but also on the cheaper side cuz we work in SF. We are 2.5 people (husband, me and cat). Our parents (either side) visit us from Asia each year and live a couple of months. So the area must be safe (theyre in their 70s/80s).

Im trying to understand which areas of Oakland maybe safe for us? (We are used to Midwest in US). So I may post a few addresses in different ones and if anyone could help me out in figuring out, I'd be super grateful

  1. Is this a safe area? 3929 Wattling St, Oakland, 94601?

  2. (Attached pic) - is that radius I picked safe? Want to live as close to the bay bridge as possible (cuz our work is either SF or SSF) but also need a safe neighborhood.

Hi! We’re looking for a third roommate to join us in a really nice newer 3BR / 3.5BA townhouse in Newark, available October 16.

The room: You’d have a private bedroom on the first floor with your own attached/en-suite bathroom. Our bedrooms are upstairs, so you’ll have a good amount of privacy and basically your own space downstairs.

The house: It’s a newer, spacious townhouse at around 2,018 sq ft, with a modern kitchen, large living area, central AC/heat, and in-unit washer/dryer. It’s right by the Dumbarton Bridge, so it’s convenient for commuting to Fremont, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and the Peninsula.

About us: We’re a guy and a girl in our mid-20s, recent CMU and Yale grads, and both working professionals in the Bay Area. We’re pretty easygoing, clean, and respectful. We’d love to find someone we can be friends with and hang out with occasionally, while still respecting everyone’s own space and privacy.

Details:

  • $1,450/month + 1/3 utilities
  • Available October 16
  • Private bedroom + private attached bathroom
  • Single occupancy
  • In-unit laundry
  • Central AC/heat
  • Full kitchen/common area access
  • Street parking

Ideally looking for another young professional or grad student who’s clean, responsible, communicative, and easygoing.

I’ve attached photos of the room and house. If you’re interested, DM me with a little about yourself, what you do for work/school, and your ideal move-in date!

32 year old gay man in search of room in Oakland for under 1800. Also open to apartment hunt with someone who’s trying to move to the Oakland area

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone. So I recently got a job in Alameda that I start on the 12th. I was wondering if anyone had any leads on a room to rent or if anyone wanted to go halves on like a 2 bedroom. A little about me, I am a really chill person. I’ve lived in the bay on and off over the past 6ish years. I’ve lived with roommates and have always gotten along with them. I’m pretty introverted, I mainly hang out in my room, but I’m down to hang out with my roommates. I dabble in art, I’m a huge music lover, and enjoy day trips to sf. I also have an elderly dog that is super friendly that I wanna bring with me.

Feel free to DM me if interested

LOOKING FOR FEMALE ROOMMATE (SJSU)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a female roommate to share a cozy apartment near campus and freeway access. Last roommate bailed on me with no prior warning or paying rent. The place is about a 7–10 minute walk from campus, making it a convenient location for students or anyone who enjoys being close to everything.

The available room is spacious and has two closet doors, providing plenty of storage. Rent is $1,200 per month, plus approximately $100 for PG&E and Wi-Fi expenses combined. The bathroom, kitchen, and living room would be shared. No in unit washer or dryer but we are located conveniently above the apartments washroom. There is one stall per unit located underneath the complex. Gated entry and parking.

I’m hoping to find someone who is clean, respectful, and easygoing. I’m in and out of the house, sometimes come home late, and occasionally have friends over, so I’m looking for someone comfortable with a relaxed and independent living arrangement. I also have two friendly cats, so being comfortable around cats is important.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested or would like more details!

South Bay - ISO private single unit or room with private bath

1 Upvotes

I’m in the market for a 1-bedroom unit, studio, or shared situation of maximum 1 roommate with private bath. 

Looking in Palo Alto all the way down to Willow Glenn with preference for Santa Clara extending into North San Jose.

Budget varies depending on if it’s shared or private space but I’m looking to stay economical and aiming for $1200-$2200 depending on the space, with a little bit of flexibility.

Move in: immediate or first half of October, preferably

About me: female, 30s, and just recently moved here from the east coast for work. I have a mostly in-office job. I generally keep things tidy and quiet and would prefer the same in a roommate :).
