Mid-30s Staff with room vacancy starting mid-August

Hello!

My housemates and I are looking for a new roommate to fill a vacancy beginning August 17th. We're from a mix of career fields and are looking to live with other working professionals, broadly defined. Feel free to share this with your non-Stanford friends as well!

About the House:

• 4 bed/3 bath in East Palo Alto
• This room shares a bathroom with one other housemate
• Roughly a 30-minute bike ride to campus, with multiple routes to choose from
• Lots of kitchen space
• Two huge living rooms
• In-house washer and dryer
• Our block connects directly to the Bay Trail
• $1,250/mo, plus $50 for professional cleaning twice a month (incl. shared bathroom)
• Utilities average $100-150 per person per month, depending on heating
• Free street parking

About our Group:

• Chill with guests, not looking for wild parties. We have our friends over occasionally and might host a dinner or brunch from time to time, but we let each other know in advance if there's a group coming. Asking the same in return.
• Social introverts: we enjoy getting out of the house, but love coming back to a peaceful home or just staying in sometimes

About Me:

• 34M
• Five years on staff at Stanford
• Active lifestyle: triathlon, climbing, travel
• Grillmeister: you'll get to sample my friend-famous BBQ
• Degrees from peer-level institutions, for what it's worth

About S:

• 25M
• Swing dancing, musical theater, traveling
• Class of ‘24 Stanford alum
• Splits time at his partner’s place in SF

About A:

• 25F
• Will be moving out in mid-December at the conclusion of her research appointment
• This room has historically been occupied by tenants on a short-term stay of 3-12 months, such as VSRs and postdocs, but doesn’t have to be
• If you're signing a longer-term lease, you are welcome to help select who will move in here next!

About You:

• Stanford staff/fellows/postdocs/faculty/visiting researchers preferred but not required
• Not a current Stanford student!
• Enjoyable to be around: not expecting that we'll necessarily be best friends, but let's at least say hi to each other, joke around, and maybe hang out from time to time
• Communicative: better to speak up early on than let pet peeves escalate
• Clean and respectful of shared spaces: 80% of this is really just the basics: wiping down countertops, closing cabinet doors, starting the dishwasher when it’s full, picking up personal items…
• Not offended by the smell of delicious meat cooking

If you think we might be a good housing fit, send me a bit about yourself and let's connect!
