$940/month Room for Rent in 5bdrm house Starting March 1st Sunnyvale

Hi!

We have 1 room for rent in a 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath house for $940/month in Sunnyvale. One downstairs bedroom is available with a preferred move-in date around March 1st, 2026. Long-term renters (1+ years) are preferred. Utilities are not included in the rental price, so add ~$100 a month. The rent is low because the house has been passed down among Stanford residents for years under rent control, making it a rare but genuine find!

It has a grand backyard, a HUGE kitchen, a beautiful entrance, a garage, a two car driveway, plenty of street parking, washer/dryer/dishwasher, and all in a very safe residential neighborhood.

THE ROOM:

• Unfurnished
• Rent: Bedroom 1: $940/mo + utilities (utilities ~$100 / month)
• Shares 1.5 bathrooms (one with shower/bathtub, one without) with a couple other housemates. We all have pretty different schedules so we don't really have bathroom conflicts.

THE HOUSEMATES:
Pedrom - I love spending my time outdoors, whether that’s skiing, hiking, traveling, or going out with friends. I love sharing Persian food, wine, TV show/movie rec’s (Star Wars is the best). Recently, you'll find me in the garage working on my car.
Mitcheal - New to the area, working part time as I maintain residence on the Gulf Coast so I'm not often home. But, I enjoy socializing and sharing food when I am!
Susan - I love food, anime, and music. Always down for a chat, music rec, or to share a meal.
Thomas - I like the outdoors, and you can find me skiing at Tahoe and diving in Monterey. I enjoy good food and trying new stuff.

All mid 20s to early 30s (3 male, 1 female) working in tech/medicine. As a house, we all have our own lives but we hang out after work or on the weekends sometimes, + the occasional dinner party. The common spaces are clean and tidy. While we don't mind the occasional dish in the sink, in general we follow a leave no trace policy. (Slobs are unwelcome, sorry.) It's a really low drama and easy place to live, and everyone is fairly flexible and communicative. Our place has a respectful, enriching, and comfortable atmosphere and we are looking for a roommate with a similar outlook. We typically use Splitwise to do all house finances, so everything is transparent. We also are general fans of Venmo and Zelle for monthly payments.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
We are looking for 1 person (male or female). We prefer someone looking for longer-term housing (1yr+)! To move in you would need to pay a security deposit ($940) plus first month's rent (pro-rated according to move in date).
If you’ve read this far, thank you. We really care about sharing our space with the right individual. If you are interested and you would like to know more about the room and meet with us, shoot us an email, provide a phone number and tell us a little about yourself! We are happy to do walkthroughs in person or via Zoom!

Thank you
