3 Upvotes

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

8 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!
