Room in co-op in downtown Palo Alto available May 1

We’re a 10-year-old co-op in downtown Palo Alto, and we’re looking for new people to move in!

One unfurnished room (with optional bed) is available starting May 1st, for a single person or couple. The room is located in the basement and shares a bathroom with two other people. The price is $1400, and there is a $1,666.67 security deposit. Move-in date is flexible.

The house was recently renovated with 2 full kitchens, 2 dishwashers, 2 washer/dryers, a large back deck with a grill, and we’ve built a music studio in the garage. The large back yard has a veggie & native plant garden, a new 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 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.

We are looking for someone who vibes well, is a good communicator, and has co-op enthusiasm! Couples, LGBTQ+, BIPOC all welcome.

Come on over for dinner to meet us!
