About the housemates:
Carrie (47), is a down-to-earth purveyor of good times and positive vibrations. When she’s not handling the Human Resources duties of her corporate life (while working from home) or crunching numbers on the side, she is eager to learn new things, explore unknown places, or try her hand at a crafty endeavor. Some of her favorite pastimes include prancing aka dancing, enjoying & playing music, hiking and gardening. Carrie is happiest when found in nature where she is surrounded by water and trees… and breathing.

Billy (50), is a yoga practitioner & musician (guitar, DJ, music production), active with multiple non-profit organizations serving people impacted by the justice system. Laid back with a zest for life, he is equally at home at home, in the kitchen, at the beach, at a yoga studio, on a trail, at a festival, or wherever good times, good vibes and adventure are to be discovered…

About you: Qualities of a great housemate match include the following…
Male, Female, or Non-Binary, sorry no couples
Please be kind, considerate, courteous to housemates and neighbors
Gainfully Employed, must be financially secure (work from home is ok – shared living spaces are not to be used as regular work spaces – please plan to work primarily in your bedroom)
Please have a regular to semi-regular mindfulness practice (meditation, yoga, etc.)
Please enjoy a variety of high vibration music
Please value diversity
Please be mature (regardless of age) and consciously working to maintain emotional stability and healthy relationships.
Creative, collaborative types are desirable
Please be neat, tidy & considerate
Community spaces are to be kept neat, clean, presentable and welcoming
“moop free” environments. All housemates are expected to practice “leave it better, leave it more beautiful than you found it!” as a rule of thumb.
Vegetarian / Vegan diet preferred (Omnivores ok)
Musical taste: Eclectic, high vibrational styles preferred, (from kirtan and meditation music to house & techno to rock & hip hop to reggae & world; mainly Non-commercial radio stations: KCRW, KXLU, KJZZ, & Classical KUSC, etc.)
Please have positive vibrations: be conscious & conscientious of others and your surroundings
Understanding positive psychology, especially as it pertains to conflict resolution
This does not equate to fostering “toxic positivity”
Understand balance of being team oriented/social with respecting personal space/privacy of housemates
420 friendly; please know how to party responsibly and have healthy work/life/party balance
Overnight guests are ok, please be respectful
Sorry, no cigarette smokers
Sorry, no furry pets

The ideal living situation would involve all housemates participating in:
· Semi-regular house meetings and group decision-making
· Fairly regular shared meals (preferably at least once a week)
· Direct communication and active conflict resolution
· System of organized household chore rotation
· Eco-Conscious Living “green”-mindedness: recycling, composting, gardening …there’s plenty of space in the backyard to utilize your green thumb.

The community that we intend to create will value diversity, foster creativity, and be queer and poly-friendly. With respect to ethical and other dietary restrictions, we would prefer to have a vegetarian kitchen, however this is not a deal-breaker.
All in all, we crave a household with some structure, but don’t want it to be overbearing or stifling. We wish to foster a sense of community, share new experiences, have fun, and enrich our lives and the lives of our community.
Please reach out if you’re looking for something similar!
Peace,
Billy

Hello! My name is David, and I’m looking for a roommate for my 2 bed/2 bath home in Highland Park, starting August 1st. (I’m open to September 1 move in).

You will have your own bedroom and bathroom. This home was recently renovated and all the finishes, fixtures, and materials are new. It has central AC/heat, as well as a washer/dryer. There is a small garage in the back that can provide a little extra storage if needed.

This house and neighborhood are super charming! The street has a real sense of community and is around the corner from Amara Kitchen and a 5 minute drive from all the restaurants and bars in the heart of the Highland Park (York). It’s very close to the 110 and Interstate 5.

I will have the great room / kitchen fully furnished and decorated (still waiting on a few furniture deliveries), and I have a fair number of plants as well.

A little about me:
I’m a very easy-going, kind, respectful, and peaceful roommate. I own my own company. I rent an office and only occasionally work from home. I also travel at least once a month and sometimes more.

IG is: @davidlatimer_

Also, I’ll be traveling almost the entire month of August, so you will have the house to yourself to get settled in.

Please provide a brief description of yourself, your work, your lifestyle. Include any relevant social media profiles.

You will need to complete a simple background check. You will not need to be on the lease. 1 month rent + 1 month security deposit.

THE SANCTUARY
Posted on: June 13th, 2023 by Naomi Lindsay No Comments

Hi everyone!

We’re looking for a roommate who also feels more like a friend to join us in our 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home out in Spicewood! Currently its me and my partner, and sometimes our 7 year old (very well behaved and a joy to have around). We’re both pretty chill professionals in our early 40’s. I travel often between here and Australia and I work from home as an online coach so I’ll be working from my home office. We recently switched to an amazing Wi-Fi company so its not a problem if you work from home.

Our place is pretty relaxed, and we enjoy kicking back with movies. We’re open to having friends over, and on some weekends, our awesome 7-year-old hangs with us. Sometimes she’s here more, sometimes less, depending on her mom’s travels. We also go on trips, leaving the house wide open for your spaciousness.

We’re looking for people who aren’t heavy or daily drinkers, no substance-abuse, etc.. You’re very welcome to work from home; we have a lot of nooks where you can sit and work or relax. My partner is out during the day and home in the evenings and weekends. We prefer people who aren’t vaccinated but open to open minded individuals who respect that we are not.

We value things like sovereignty, good vibes, peace, and healthy living—You can be vegetarian or vegan, no problem, but we aren’t (we do enjoy grass fed and organic locally grown meat) . We have good, clean water that comes from a well, plus a fancy 5-stage reverse osmosis filter system. We keep things chemical-free, using vinegar and natural stuff for cleaning.

We also have two cats, and one is a snuggler.
We’re all about shared responsibility, like keeping things clean and tackling those dishes pronto.

The room up for grabs is on the first floor, close to the kitchen, with its own bathroom. It’s bright, thanks to a big window with nice shutters. Beautiful views of our front yard. The house has a long gated driveway so theres no traffic in our windows and lots of privacy. Sometimes we see foxes on our 2&1/2 acre property. We’re very close to the Perdenales River and have great river view sunsets!

If this sounds like your vibe, let’s chat about making this place your home too!

Cheers,

Naomi

Furnished Detached Guesthouse | Smart House | Beach | LAX
Posted on: May 5th, 2023 by Trina No Comments

We welcome you to stay in this peaceful and centrally-located private studio and shared smart house! This is a safe residential neighborhood with the perks of having an 85 walk score. It is within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and a 6 min drive to the beach (or 15 min on bike)! Not to mention the close proximity to LAX without the airplane noise. It is furnished with a queen-sized bed with a memory foam mattress, dining table, and a flat-screen TV, play station, and a Firestick. The home comes with fully upgraded stainless steel appliances and luxury furnishings such as a full-size refrigerator, gas stove, and oven. For security, the front door is equipped with a Schlage lock in addition to multiple external Ring Cameras and floodlights (there are no cameras inside the unit). There is a shared yard with a basketball hoop and two patio lounge areas. One that is private to you and the other that is shared with my partner, myself, and our mini poodle. The space is ideal for outdoor bbq hangs since the weather is always perfect by the beach. You will also have access to the main house which includes a gourmet kitchen, living room with fireplace, guest room/office/music studio, and washer/dryer. We hope to create a comfortable community where we can possibly jointly host gatherings, enjoy dinner together, co-work etc. It is important to us to be compatible with our new housemates.

** Some photos are staged for sizing reference
** Couples welcomed
** Month-Month lease
** Flexible move-in
** If you are not interested in access to the main house price can be adjusted. Let me know your needs and we can work something out 🙂
