UTILITIES & LEASE - Utilities: $150/month - Lease: preference for 6-7 months HOUSE DYNAMICS We are progressive, liberal, anti-racist, queer-friendly, environmentally and socially conscious, and globally aware. When crossing paths at home, we make space for and notice each other by checking in, chatting in the kitchen or on the porch, sharing the occasional meal, and having direct conversations to resolve natural tensions that come up. We value the vibrancy of an active lifestyle of community engagement and friendships, yet inside the home, we're relatively quiet in our day-to-day living, especially in the evenings to prioritize quiet for good sleep. This is not a party house, but a grounded home that feels warm and supportive not just functional. This home tends to work best for people who have some life experience living with others, a stable routine, and bring a level of self-awareness and ability to navigate shared living with emotional intelligence and maturity. If you're in a phase of life where you're looking for something more intentional than a typical group house, you'll likely feel at home here. In practice, that tends to look like: - Keeping a clean, uncluttered space that feels both cared for and lived in - Taking initiative with household chores rather than waiting to be asked - Communicating directly and constructively, especially during difficult conversations - Being aware of how your habits and energy impact others - Participating in occasional house meetings to keep things running smoothly - Small, regular household engagement(a quick check-in, a short conversation, etc.) - An active life, friendships, activities, and routines outside the house - Recycling, composting, and trying to reduce waste are a priority - Valuing personal growth and development (therapy, reflection, self-awareness, navigating interpersonal dynamics)Financially stable and paying rent on time HOUSEMATES Housemate 1: I'm female , 45 years old, biracial (black and white), originally from California and the owner of the home. I've chosen this way of living intentionally - I value connection, community, and creating a home that feels connective and supportive. I work in responsible sourcing and sustainability and focus on human and labor rights in global supply chains. I often work from home and also travel for extended periods. I'm active with pilates, yoga, drumming, anti-racist groups, dance (Cuban Salsa, PR Bomba, Afrobeats), hiking, meditation. I'm extroverted, social, and prioritize friendships and community building. I value deep meaningful conversations about human behavior, analyzing society, current events, philosophical debates, intellectual curiosity, and questioning the status quo. I have lived abroad, traveled significantly, speak Spanish, and recently spent 4 months in West Africa studying drumming. I invest a lot in personal growth and self-awareness (therapy, mindfulness, somatic practices), and I care about communication, accountability, and how we show up and impact one another as humans. I'm also someone who enjoys small moments - a good conversation, a drink on the porch, an impromptu dance party in the kitchen, and a shared laugh. Housemate 2: I'm non-binary, 29 years old, African American, and originally from Maryland. I work in IT tech support with a background in desktop support, networking, and customer-facing technical roles. Because I am Maryland native, I love exploring new experiences, whether that's traveling to a new city, discovering hidden food spots, or getting lost in a great anime series. I'm naturally curious and creative, and you'll often find me crocheting, planning my next adventure, or diving into conversations about life and the things that make people unique. I am a very deep thinker who enjoys exploring the depths of any topic. AT A GLANCE... Living this way isn't for everyone and is best matched for someone who wants to feel like part of household rather than just co-existing in one. It asks for communication, awareness, and a willingness to engage so the home feels meaningful and supportive.
