About the roomies
We are two gay men living with our six-year old granddaughter. We both have tech jobs and often work from home.
We have lived here 20+ years and have often had other adults living with us. We enjoy living in community.
We are LGBTQ+ welcoming and cannabis friendly. Smoking is only permitted outside. No tobacco. No pets—we are allergic to pet dander.
The other tenants on the 3rd floor are young adults (20’s and 30’s). You’ll of course get the opportunity to talk and/or meet with all of us in order to make sure this is a good fit for everyone.
