Ryan's room

Colorful room in a shared house in Central Tacoma for $550 a month. All the utilities are included. There is also a $100 deposit, and the first and last month’s rent is needed upfront. For each additional person, rent is $250 more per person. The room is blue and yellow in color. There are two windows with a garden view. The room has a keyed lock and a 3’x6’ entryway into the room. There is a corner closet with shelves and a full-sized bed. Some other basic furnishings are possible too. There is also a new efficient and silent wall heater!

This is an old house and outside some things still need work, but it’s coming along well. There are many trees and shrubs around providing privacy, a rock fire pit, and a pond with ambient running water. The exterior has security cameras. The house is in a good neighborhood, and just a few blocks away are several bus lines, a big park, 6th Ave, and shopping areas.

Inside, the house looks great and is designed with unique, colorful, and artistic features. A washer and dryer are available. Internet is included, with WIFI and an ethernet cord in each room. This is a net carbon-negative house, with all electricity from renewables and more carbon offsets than what is used! All paper towels/toilet paper/dish soap/sponges/cleaning supplies are provided and selected based on environmental benefits.

There are some basic rules to the house, including no guests over, doing your part on the cleaning schedule, recycling properly, etc. A recycling test is given. The rules and policies are all straightforward and meant to keep an enjoyable environment for everyone. This is a shared home living space, and not just a space to rent without respectful obligations and rules.

If you’re interested, then please send a message with some information about yourself, which includes: what you do for work/school, any pets/other people staying with you, and anything else you’d like to add! Thanks!

All new housemates are female, but there is a male (me) with my own space and bathroom but I still share some common areas. Housemates are all friendly and respectful adults with busy lives. It’s generally quiet and not a ‘party house’, but occasionally some will hang out and play board games, have a fire, or do something fun.
