Hi all! I’m looking for someone to take over my lease in Menlo Park, about 5 miles from Stanford’s campus. Rent is $1550/month, plus about $80/month in utilities and internet. We have a driveway for parking, and there is additional (free!) street parking if you are having friends over. The house is in a peaceful residential neighborhood in North Fair Oaks, between Menlo Park and Atherton. The lease is until July 2027, so this is a great option for any PhD or Master’s student in the area. 7 months stay minimum, however longer-term renters of 1 year and 7 months are preferred. The preferred move-in date is early January.

The bedroom will come furnished with a lamp, desk, bed frame, and box spring! All you will need to bring for yourself is a mattress; however, I can help with the mattress if need be :) The room has a built-in blackout curtain, great sunlight (when the curtain is up), a lovely sliding mirror closet, and built-in shelves and drawer organizers in the closet. You’ll share a bathroom with one roommate, who is very clean and courteous.

As for the house itself, we have a washer and dryer, dishwasher, spacious garage for storing bikes, sports gear, and other personal storage, and a lovely backyard patio with a table and lighting for any late-night kickbacks. We also have 2 and a half fridges (the half is a mini fridge), so you don’t have to worry about fighting over fridge space!

Our place has a respectful, enriching, and comfortable atmosphere and we are looking for a roommate with a similar outlook. All roommates are professionals in their 20s with unique interests. We enjoy the outdoors, hanging out, and watching the occasional hockey game or Great British Bake-Off. Everyone is encouraged to hang out whenever they want, but is more than welcome to just relax in their own space at any time.

Location: 15-20 minute drive to Stanford, 7-minute drive to Meta/Facebook, 5-minute drive to the 101, 40 minute drive to SF. 25 minute bike ride to Stanford campus, 10 minute bike ride to Menlo Park Caltrain and downtown Menlo Park!

More about the roommates:
T: (27M) I enjoy making homemade ice cream for the house, bringing healthy competition to house sports (Spikeball and Horse). I keep my housemates lightly informed about sports and sports adjacent happenings.
R: (26F) When not crushing it on the ice or pondering the human condition, I enjoy binging reality TV and cheering for the Rangers.
K: (25F) You can find me shredding in Tahoe, cycling in Marin, riding horses, or having a beer and watching TV with the roomies.
