KR's room

The house is big and the location is amazing: I can walk to all social and chore needs, including straight into the forest. I have two rooms available. The rooms are big, 10 and 11x12 with full closets and there are 2 ½ baths so sharing isn’t an issue. I can furnish the room if you want. I’m a couple blocks from Cathedral Park and I can see St. Johns Bridge from many spots! The house has a great design for shared living: a social floor, the bedrooms on a separate floor, and a full dry basement with some storage for you. We have a washer and dryer onsite and plenty of street parking. There are two covered porches, a big shady fenced backyard, and small (so far) beds for gardening. A third of utilities has been about $100 during the peak winter costs. Reach out if you want to chat and meet each other!

Hi! My name is Kim and I’m a 40s queer, white privileged, rad woman. I recently got my own place after a lot of transition during COVID. My goal is to provide stable, nurturing housing to myself and others. I’m anti-capitalist, anti-patriarchal, anti-racist nature lover and book worm. I was raised living in community and have very rarely lived alone. I have lived with hundreds of amazing humans, many of whom have become chosen family. and I have decades of training in communicating about shared needs and goals. I’m a lifelong learner and a badass who gets stuff done and knows how to step up for what’s right. I’m also a teacher so I take COVID very seriously and still mask in public. I don’t have any pet friends yet, but want them. I play board games, cook a LOT and love to share, bike or walk most of the time, and love exploring or going on adventures. I’m an active and busy person, but I also make the time to warmly greet everyone. I have a balanced need for time with myself to recharge and sharing social activities like meals, crafting, games and puzzles, etc. I’m working on building my community in Portland, so a good fit with my housemates is the most important factor for me. I’m going to live with people who are:

• kind and friendly, baseline polite,
• into hanging out when time allows,
• consistent and responsible for themselves,
• clear communicators,
• growing human beings who don’t attempt power games.
