House Culture:

Although there are a lot of people, there is even MORE space to make up for it. For that reason, you would be a great fit if you like having a lot of personal/common space but also enjoy having roommates and interacting/sharing. We rent the entire building, and thus living in our house will be a bit different than your typical apartment style living situation. Everyone living in the house knows and gets along with each other quite well.

The house is not a co-op. We buy our own food, work separately, etc. We do enjoy hanging out, watching movies, cooking together from time to time, and sharing meals, but mostly live on our own. Most of us are creative type folks, and so there is a bit of that floating around and we like to have a good time. We are alcohol and 420 friendly, but no tobacco use inside the house. We trust you to clean on your own time, upkeep the common spaces, and be respectful of shared spaces. We have a pretty strict clean after you cook rule in the second floor kitchen, so unfortunately you won’t be able to slack on that/leave dishes in the sink. There is also a trash/recycling rotation in place.

About This Lister

I am an audio engineer who travels frequently for work! Our space is best for folks who enjoy their own personal space but dont mind the idea of communal living. Being artsy is fitting and encouraged, but not essential! There are many creative people living in the house but we have others with more typical work structures as well. A solid mix of men and women, we keep our space very clean, but the most important neatfreak space is definitely the kitchen, where we have more strict rules about cleaning up after yourself due to the number of people using the kitchen.
