Large Room Available in Palo Alto Shared House (palo alto)

We’re a 10-year-old co-op in downtown Palo Alto, and we’re looking for someone new to move in! We strive to be a cooperative community that provides more than mere residential necessity, where the well-being of each individual and the group are prioritized. We do this by fostering a functional and aesthetic space for open dialogue, safe repose, good food, and abundant shenanigans, since 2012. Most of us here are graduate students or postdocs, or tech working millennials in our late twenties and early thirties, with a mix of guys and gals. We keep costs low by splitting professional cleaning service, internet, electricity, and groceries ($250-350/month). Food is central to our community and we share four vegetarian dinners per week.

If this sounds good to you, an unfurnished room is available starting July 1st.

The room is located at the top of the house, with a sloping ceiling. It is quite large, and accessible via a somewhat steep stairway. The closest bathroom is at the bottom of the stairway, and is shared by 3 other rooms (there is another half bathroom one floor down and a full bathroom two floors down). The room has no door, but due to the steepness of the stairway, you cannot see into the room from the bottom of the stairs. It can get hot in the summer.

The house was recently renovated with 2 full kitchens, 2 dishwashers, 2 washer/dryers, and a large back deck with a grill. Parts of the basement, including the available downstairs room, were renovated this month. The large back yard has a veggie & native plant garden, a hot tub, and 10 different fruit trees.
We’re located just a few blocks from the shops and restaurants on University Ave, the Palo Alto Caltrain station, and Johnson Park. Stanford’s campus is a ~20-minute walk, ~10-minute bike ride, and 10-minute drive.

We are looking for someone who vibes well, is a good communicator, and has co-op enthusiasm! LGBTQ+, BIPOC all welcome. We are looking for folks who can commit to 1 year+ of rent.
Come on over for dinner to meet us!
