Josh's room

Want to live in a big house with professional men at a fraction of the cost?

An unfurnished private room is available for rent for $900 a month plus your equal contribution for utilities and amenities. Your share for that will be $150/mo flat ALL inclusive - no more no less. It makes it easy to budget for everyone, while I, the homeowner, take care of extra costs even when the electric bill alone runs up to $500+ in a month. I’ve been renting rooms at my house since 2018 and this approach has worked the best for everyone.

The available room is a private bedroom with a shared bathroom in a BIG 2-story 6 bedroom and 3 bath house with 3k+ sqft. The private bathroom is shared with only 1 roommate and has a big vanity, lots of counter space and storage, a toilet and shower, and is connected to your room with a jack and jill bathroom floor plan.

No long-term commitment. Month-to-month contract. 30-day notice before you leave is all I ask. First-come-first-serve for availability. Only 1 tenant per room - no exceptions.
