Looking for 2 Roomies in SE
Hi, I’m looking for 2 new roommates for at least the next year. I rent a house in SE outside of ladd’s addition. Here are some details about the me and the living situation
About the House:
Move in Date: September 1st 2026, 1 year lease
Rent: 1165
Utilities: 115ish depending on usage
4 bedrooms, 2 up for rent, 1 is shared guest room
Pets: No, I have a dog already and would like to avoid more animals in the house
Heating: gas furnace + radiators
A/C: none, but I use a portable unit for my room
Bathrooms: 1.5 (second one upstairs doesn’t have a shower)
Other amenities:
Finished basement (great for storing camping gear!)
House general areas are well furnished already (couch, chairs, dining table, rugs, etc.) with space for your stuff to be added! Kind of a more midcentury vibe at the moment. Flexible/open to suggestion for redecorating. Love an estate sale and some interior design discussion :)
Backyard with fire pit and lots of garden space
Front yard flower beds (if you have a green thumb!)
Furnished guest room in case you have out of town guests!
General good house vibe
About me
I’m a 26M mechanical engineer working an 8am-5pm job M-F. I work from home in my room on Thursdays. I’m pretty active and out of the house on weekends. I also spend a good chunk of time at my boyfriend’s house nearby. I have a big group of friends and regularly host events at the house. I’m a very social person so there are usually people in the house when I’m home. We’d love to include you in our weekly dinner clubs or game nights!
My dog Haku is a husky mix who is very sweet but high energy. Bonus points if you’re a dog person. I work very hard to keep up with cleaning the hair he sheds and I have furniture covers for when I’m out of the house so he doesn’t stink em up. I have a few friends that help me out with walking and feeding him throughout the week as well.
I love music and I have a big record collection of indie, electronic, and folk music I love putting on in the living room. I also cook at lot and love to share whatever I’m working on with the roomies. I don’t watch TV a ton but I have many of the streamers already. I like to bike everywhere I can and you’ll often find me hiking, swimming in a river, or camping on weekends when the weather’s nice. In the winter I enjoy a cozy night in playing card, board, or video games and cooking some yummy food. I think it’s really important to have a friendship with the people I live with so I’d want to get to know you and hang out!
What I’m looking for
The most important thing for me is cleanliness. I want roomies who are neurotically tidy the same way I am. This is a huge one. Don’t force it if you aren’t already that type of person. For the right roommate this paragraph should make you think “whew thank god!”, not “hmm maybe I can change.”
I think an extrovert would also do better in this house because it’s inhabited by a very social bunch. If you’re looking to make new friends or like hanging out with people regularly, this is the place for you!
Lastly, I’d want to live with people that are mature, direct, and proactive with interpersonal conflict. Things always arise when sharing a home, and I prefer people who are comfortable raising an issue and working through it together in good faith. If you’re someone who tends to let things fester, this is not the place for you. I’m very direct with my communication and I’d love for my roomies to be too!
Let me know if you’re interested in living here and we can meet up for coffee to talk! If things go well we can also do a house tour!
