About the room
Your room is empty/clean and just as big as the master bedroom. You’d have a large walk-in closet with lots of storage space. The full bathroom shown is yours alone; anyone I have over would use my own. The washer & dryer are right near your bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped and the living room is wide open for any furniture you’d want to move in with. It’s really just a dining table, couch, tv, and coat/shoe stand. There are also two balconies looking out from the 2nd/top floor of the apartment. Your room has 5 outlets plus a working coax port, if you’d like to use MoCA for ethernet. Do note that the bedrooms don’t come with their own lighting.
The apartment sits close to the Iliff/Buckley intersection. It’s an older building. I’ve worked with maintenance to fix the problems I had on move-in; everything works now (as much as one could expect) and is much cleaner now as well.
- The unit: 930 sq. ft.; 2 bedroom, 2 bath; it’s on the 2nd/top floor
- Washer & dryer: stacked, included in unit
- Kitchen has everything: fridge, freezer, microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher (I share my appliances, like the microwave)
- A/C: an older, inefficient, wall-mounted, electric A/C (not central)
- Heating: Wood fireplace; newer central baseboard heaters that the landlord has promised to properly install by this winter (currently put in a request on this)
- Water & sewage: Utilities split under the entire building by a formula based on 1) the unit’s square footage and 2) number of tenants
- Gas: Utilities split under the entire building based on the unit’s square footage
- Trash: $30/month (can’t opt out)
- Parking: $8/month (separate)
- Internet: Xfinity, 200/10 (down/up) mbps, $35/month (open to adjusting it if we can afford it)
- Cable TV: I don’t pay for it
- Pets: allowed, though the fees would be yours
An example of what the shared bills from August would’ve added up to for you:
- Rent: $822.75
- Electricity: $69.90 (the A/C is a huge pain)
- Water: $26.98
- Sewage: $21.92
- Gas: $10.43
- Trash: $15.00
- Internet: $17.50
- Parking: $8.00
- Other bs landlord fees: $10.36
- Total: $1002.84
About the roomies
I’m a 26 yo trans woman. I’m only interested in living with other queer people, preferably another trans person. I don’t have pets; I’m a pretty clean and quiet roommate to live with; I have a masters in computer science; I currently work overnight shifts in a warehouse; you may occasionally hear me playing guitar. I use a laptop for streaming stuff to the tv in the living room, where you’re welcome to as well, though fair warning that I do run Linux on all of my computers.
I moved to Colorado in May, fleeing an east coast red state, and I had a heavily traumatic experience with the roommate I originally lived with, having to kick her out. The stipulation of a background check is because of that…I ordered mine too, hopefully in good faith.
