In search of housemate(s) - December move-in

Please read entire post before replying

Hello!

I'm an employee at Stanford, I've been in my position for almost 6 months now. Female, early 30's, and originally from this area. I went to college in DC and got my master's degree at Santa Clara University. Then lived in Los Angeles for a couple years. Came back for this job!

I'm interested in moving from my family's home to somewhere within reasonable commuting distance to campus (thinking San Mateo to Santa Clara is a good range; I would consider the East Bay in Newark ONLY, just across the bridge).

My target move-in is the end of the year. I've heard that's when prices are a little better.

A few things I'm looking for!

• A nice place. I'm eager to have my own space soon after crashing with family, but I'm giving up a 7 minute commute and no rent. I want a place that's comfortable and can be a good home!
• Own bed, own bath. A 1-1 ratio beds/baths is probably best.
• I have bedroom furniture in storage, and this will all need to fit...a large enough room and enough closet space.
• In-unit laundry
• Dishwasher
• Somewhere to park; street is fine if it's safe
• The farther out we go, I'd have a preference for being near CalTrain (Stanford does offer good incentives to use public transportation!)

Personally, my budget is $1,350 for all included (rent, utilities, parking, etc.). I realize that for the above, options are limited. But I hope to find people I can work out a good arrangement with. My salary is lower than that of others. I've seen one bedrooms for $3,000+. Having a housemate saves on costs for sure. Here's the thinking:

For a two bedroom: either a single with a higher budget, or a couple and we split 3 ways. (Something under $4,000)
For a three bedroom: again either two singles with higher budgets, or a single and a couple and we split 4 ways. (Something under $5,500)

I do not have pets, but welcome yours :-) I also do not have common area furniture, but I have dishes and kitchen supplies that I'm open to sharing with anyone.

My schedule is 7:30 - 4:30. I take an acting class one night a week (figuring out if that will be Mondays or Tuesdays). I like to get to the gym at 5:30AM, so I'm out EARLY on weekdays, and home after work. I don't cook a whole lot. Non-smoking and a rare drinker. Quiet, but enjoy other's company!
