Rent & Utilities:

Rent: $5,700/month (without 2-car garage)
Rent: $6,200/month (with 2-car garage, a really nice ~475 sq ft space).

Utilities co-pay: $275–$325/month (covers electric, gas, water, internet, trash — usage caps apply)

The place is good for 2 people to share, or if for 3 people, you would probably be better off including the garage too (use the garage as an activity space or extra storage).

In the front house, we’re two medical residents and a lawyer, women in our 20s/30s, GSB ‘25, and we absolutely love living here. The landlord has been incredibly supportive and responsive, and the place itself is spacious, full of natural light, and truly feels like home. We’re hoping to find great folks to share the property with.
