Looking for an apartment and a roommate

I have recently moved to natick for work and looking for an apartment and also a flatmate to share a 2B2B as soon as possible. I am open to different apartments like Avalon, 266 Framingham or any other decent one.

Walkable no car

Other than Coolidge Corner, which is ideal, where else would you live as a single woman in your 20s if you want to be able to get to the T and the grocery store in just a couple blocks.

Where should I live?

Another one of these, I know I know.

-I'll be working in Seaport so I'd like a reasonable commute.

-I will off myself before I ever have roommates ever again. I need my own space to sit and grumble

-I'm 32F, single, and on the prowl. Functionally, this means:

  • I'm currently working on getting my butt as big as possible. I need a gym within 10 min walking distance and that gym must have bountiful deadlift racks, a smith machine, barbells and trap bars galore, and a seated leg press. The clientele of this gym ideally includes nerdy funny men in their late 20s and 30s. They work, they lift, and then they go home, play dungeons and dragons, scroll reddit, and fall asleep.
  • I'd also like the place that I live in to contain the aforementioned men, roaming about - not just in the gym, but literally everywhere - swarming - ready for me to accidentally bump into and drop all of my papers and say "Wow thank you soooo much for helping me pick these up!"
  • I do also want friends, so gals and gays of the aforementioned type would be stellar too. 2 of my best friends died in the last three years (fuck drunk drivers, fuck cancer!), I'm traumatized, and I need to replace them.

-my budget its 5k per month. I've saved like a squirrel hoarding acorns for the last 5 years to be able to ball out, and now we're balling out.

Things I don't care about:

-noise level, budget

Things I don't want

-frat vibes, geriatric vibes

About me:

early to mid career-ish

nerdo

painter (love an arts and crafts night)

love a vodka shot but maybe like once every three months

have a 16-year-old hairless chinese crested dog, but willing to yeet her to a shelter for the right place. Jk, but I do have family in the area and she can go roost with them if needed

i like lifting

i love mcdonalds coffee.

looking for community and a young-ish place, but where it's normal to have had your first grey hair already and everyone has owned skinny jeans at some point

Lease Takeover: 2 Bed/1 Bath in JP w/ Parking | $2,500/mo (first + last) | Pets Allowed | Mid-Oct or Nov 1st

Howdy! 👋

Reposting this because the group we had lined up dropped.

My girlfriend and I are planning on moving out and are looking for someone -ideally a couple or 2 person group- to take over our 2 bed/1 bath in JP. Possibility of moving in earlier than Nov 1 either pro-rated (whole week) or free (a few days). I can share the Zillow listing in Messenger.

We love our home and it’s such a cute, cozy space but we’re moving because we need to be closer to family. We’re open to selling or leaving some of the furniture, as we bought them specifically for this space.

About the place:

* Top floor attic unit of a triple decker in JP, with sloped ceilings.

* 10 min walk away from the Stony Brook stop on the orange line and short ride to South West Corridor bike path.

* Surface parking lot in the back with off-street parking. 1 deeded spot in the lease but you can have a guest over with no issues.

* Very lively neighborhood, with lots of dominican and puerto rican restaurants. 15 minute walk away from Stop n Shop. Lots of corner stores and a local grocery store (City Feed) nearby.

* Back deck with outdoor patio furniture that we’re open to selling/leaving.

* Water included. Electricity is the only utility (Eversource). Baseboard electric heating.

* No laundry or dishwasher on site, but there are laundromats within walking distance. We use our car. We also bought a portable dishwasher and would be open to selling/leaving that as well.

Reach out if you’d like to tour the space.
