Seeking a housemate. Please read whole post before messaging.
I have a 4x2 2500 square foot house and I’m looking for a housemate. I have the master bedroom and rent two of the rooms occasionally on Airbnb. The room for rent shares a bathroom with the Airbnb rooms.
House is in 78722, right next to Patterson park and close to the Mueller development. Very close to both the Red River HEB and the Mueller HEB. Great location IMO, easy to head south or north or east out of town.
No pets of your own as I already have two small dogs and more animals in a house this size is too much. Must love dogs though.
Is a house, so has washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, oven, dishwasher.
Decent sized windows and good natural light. Lease length and start date flexible but prefer 1 year lease. 1 month’s rent refundable security deposit. $950 + utilities, although for a perfect person I would be flexible on this amount.
Over the years I’ve lived with a variety of people and I’ve decided that it’s just easier for everyone involved to just be very blunt about housemate expectations. If the following description doesn’t match you, let’s not waste each other’s time or end up living together and hating each other.
The biggest necessity is that you’re very clean. Not just your own spaces, it’s a shared house and just by existing in the kitchen and living room ect, you dirty them. I hate being the only person who cleans the common spaces. If your usually complaint of old roommates is that you were the only one who cleaned, we might be a good fit. But if you’ve never sat and ranted to a friend about how much you hate your slob roommates, you’re probably not the cleanliness level I’m looking for. If you sweep and wipe down the kitchen regularly,do your dishes immediately, and know all about how your vacuum works, we’ll probably get along wonderfully.
Due to the utilities being split between us, I’m also looking for energy conscious people. People who turn the lights out when they leave the room, use natural light when able, only run the dishwasher or washing machine when there’s a full load, don’t take hour long showers ect. I have a wide temperature comfort range, and think excessive heating/cooling of the house isn’t something I want to pay for.
Must love dogs. My dogs are my best friends and love to cuddle, so unless you close them out of the room, they're going to be on the couch with you. I’ve had roommates before that came in not being a fan of dogs and left being incredibly depressed they wouldn’t get to see them anymore.
Mostly I’m looking for conscientious people who understand that sharing space takes thought on everyone’s part.
I’m 23F, college grad, into fitness and health, non-smoker, light social drinker. Seeking similar. I travel for work/pleasure/family frequently, so you'll often have the house to yourself. I’ve lived in mixed gender houses before, so gender or sexual orientation of roommates doesn’t matter but understand that this isn't going to be one of those weird houses where everyone is fooling around with each other/the Airbnb guests.
Strong preference for young working adults or grad students, much less interested in current undergrads.
Despite this post possibly seeming uptight, I really like being friends with my roommates. Hanging out on the weekends, talking about our days, and trips to the greenbelt together. If you came away from reading this excessively long post and were nodding, shoot me a message. If you kinda want to punch me in the face, thanks for reading anyway :]
