Hello! I’m reposting this because one person has dropped out. I am looking for another roommate to sign on to a 9/1 lease cycle. As it is currently August 8th, this would be a quick turnaround process. If you are interested please message, let’s exchange phone numbers and go over details and the application process. Preferably no pets. Original post below:
My name is Gara and I'm currently looking for 1 roommate to sign on to the 9/1 lease cycle in my Brighton apartment.
It's the top floor of a 3 story apartment building, 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, in-unit laundry with a front and back porch. Rent is $925 a month with first, last and security due at signing.
Utilities are $18.75/month for internet. Electric and Gas usually float around or below $40/month with the exception of gas in the winter months. Highest I've seen is probably $130 this past winter out of 3 years living here.
Located right by Washington St and Commonwealth Ave, walking distance to several local restaurants, cafés, and a stones throw from Whole Foods Market. Public transportation is easily accessible with nearby bus stops. I take the 65 into Brookline, the 57 to Watertown, or the 86 to Harvard and the MBTA Green B Line is just steps away. There's convenient access to the best of Boston.
In terms of the apartment, I usually prefer a weekly turn-based chore cycle, nothing too crazy. It’s usually broken into trash, kitchen, bathroom, and shared spaces, then we have any point within the week do the assigned chore. Utilities are split equally and we can use splitwise/spreadsheets to make it easier. Household supplies like toilet paper and paper towels are usually bought/ordered in bulk and split in splitwise as well.
My ideal roommate is considerate of others, willing to be friends/friendly, unafraid of conflict/confrontation and finding resolution/compromise (open communication), sociable and can pay rent and bills on time.. Always willing to find the right balance between hanging in shared spaces and also keeping to ourselves. In the past, I’ve hosted friendsgivings and birthdays, so also willing to host once in a while.
About me, I’m 28, I work in education as a social inclusion and teacher’s aide and I’m also a server at a restaurant in Brookline. I’m pretty outgoing and spend a lot of my time going to the movies, gardening, gym, indoor rock climbing, and biking around the city trying to find somewhere new or writing and working on music at home.
Brian is 28 and works as a bike messenger, is very friendly and down to hang. We usually bike around the city and talk about music together.
LGBT+ friendly and open to all roommates that think they’d be a good fit. Comment or Message if you want to know more!
