Boulder, CO 80302

We have two rooms opening up, available starting August 1st. Rent is 698 per month plus utilities ($75 per month), with a deposit of one month’s rent. A $160/month food fee covers essentially all your groceries; the food we buy as a house is vegetarian, but plenty of meat-eaters live here too, and you’re free to buy and cook your own meat in shared spaces. The house has spacious garden areas with built-in irrigation, solar panels, and a heat-pump HVAC system for heating and AC. We regularly get fresh local produce through a CSA (community supported agriculture). Membership also comes with a free RTD ECOpass (local transit pass), plus free Colorado CarShare and Community Cycles access. The location is less than a 20-minute walk to CU Boulder’s main campus, about 10 minutes to Pearl Street, and about 15 to Eben G. Fine Park. Pets are possible, subject to a conversation with current housemates.

I’m a current resident, and there are about 12 of us living here. We’re a housing co-op, which means the house is run by the people who live in it rather than by a landlord. We cook together, split chores, and make decisions as a group. The shared work is real but light, generally under 6 hours a week including our weekly house meeting. We eat together at community dinners three times a week, and the food and company are honestly my favorite part of living here. My housemates are so creative with what they cook. The conversations are just as varied too, and in a single evening we might dig into art, science, and philosophy, then spend the next half hour cracking dumb jokes. The people here are kind, curious, and thoughtful, each in their own way. Many of us are queer, and we come from a wide range of backgrounds. We care about living cooperatively, treating each other well, and being good to the environment, and we welcome applicants from marginalized backgrounds, including BIPOC and/or trans folks.
