Hello, I’m trying to save up enough to buy my own place instead of renting but coming off of 9 years of being a caregiver for my father so I don’t have much money saved.

The upper limit of my budget is around $700.00 per month (rent and utilities combined), so that should allow for some decent options if splitting everything equally. I plan on staying wherever I move for a while and would prefer a roommate that isn’t intending to up and leave anytime soon *(and definitely not before any rental agreement is up).

I’d prefer to live with someone who likes to have things stay mostly clean and organized. I’m a bit of a homebody and tend to keep to myself a lot of the time. If we have shared interests we can hang out but if not that’s perfectly fine too. M/F/NB, LGBTQIA+ roommates are all cool by me.

For a bit of background on me, I enjoy watching movies, walking, playing video games, playing board games & TTRPG’s.

I’m quiet and don’t like being a bother to those with different sleep schedules. I’ll occasionally play online games with friends but I don’t get all riled up and yell like others might. Also, I typically cook, heat up quick microwave meals, and eat out in about equal measure (to give you a sense of potential kitchen messes and dirty dishes).

I’m not really interested in sharing a space with people who like to party regularly or make a lot of noise. Occasional guests are fine, but not daily. My ideal living situation would be a 2-3 bedroom (3rd room for extra shared storage space or a guest bed - if available) with 2 separate full bathrooms. In-unit laundry is also highly preferred as well.

I have a bit of communal furniture such as a TV, kitchen wares, and appliances. I don’t have a couch or any typical living/dining room furniture, however, I’d be willing to split the cost of these with a roommate if they didn’t have their own and wanted a more comfortable communal space.

I don’t currently have any pets but I love them and I would be okay if potential roommate(s) had them, as long as they cleaned up any messes, and were able to cover any additional costs for the pet deposit and/or the increase in rental fees or damages.

My desired move-in date is in about two weeks. I’ll be working full time, but I barely make enough at the moment for my expenses plus rent alone. I wouldn’t mind teaming-up with someone (or multiple people) to look for the right place together that fits each of our needs.

420 friendly, vaping okay, drinking okay, but no cigarette or cannabis smoking inside. As long as you’re chill, respectful, and willing to communicate we should get along just fine.
