Hi all,
I'm an incoming postdoc to Stanford, moving from NYC and starting on Oct 1, 2026. I'll ideally sign a 1-year lease, though this duration and my move-in date are flexible. Please see my brief details below.
Financials and Personal: $79k salary, 800+ credit, family as guarantors. I'm looking for properties up to $2.9k/mo. I am quiet, clean, and non-smoking.
Dog: I'll be moving with a well-trained, 6yo mixed-breed dog (~40lb) for whom I'll be happy to provide reference letters from my current NYC landlord and my vet, as well as any photos, videos, or live calls that may be helpful. Although she's had no behavioral issues to date, as an additional guarantee I carry renter's insurance with dedicated pet liability coverage.
Residence Preferences: I'll be interested in any studio, 1br, ADU, or house within a ~25min drive from Stanford (Palo Alto, Redwood City, Mountain View, San Carlos, Sunnyvale, Menlo Park, Los Altos, etc.). I'll ideally lease long-term (1 year+) but can be flexible. As I'll be in NYC until late September I'll be happy to meet virtually, and can have a friend or family member in the area visit in-person prior to signing.
Please reach out if you have a property that may fit! I'll be very happy to provide any further information or hop on a phone/video call asap. Thank you very much, and I'm super excited to move to the Bay!
