Shared Living Arrangements:

The bathroom, kitchen, and other common areas are shared with the homeowner, who is a live-in landlord. The house also features a backyard and a deck, which are accessible to the tenant.

Although the images are indicative of an “apartment with a threatening aura”
I promise you, it’s not. The room is located in the sub-level of the home so the lack of natural light affects the quality of the images. It’s a safe space, I lived here after escaping from a domestic violence incident. It’s a great starter living space with a landlord who is kind, in her 50s, and as a mom, she may offer to feed you now and then.

Rent Payment:

Rent is due by 9 a. m. every Sunday, or by 9 a. m. on the 1st of the month for long-term tenants.
Payment accepted via cash, Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.
