Room for Rent

I have a great opportunity for a room with a private attached bath available at the Villa Solana apartments in Laguna Hills. The location is perfect for anyone commuting in South County, it's right by the 5 and 73 freeways, so you can get just about anywhere in 15 minutes, and you'll have full access to all the complex amenities. The apartment itself is fully renovated, has never been lived in, and features a great patio facing the woods and creek trails. The room is unfurnished with plenty of storage, and the place includes an in-unit washer and dryer as well as a dedicated parking space. I do have a dog, but she is kept completely separate, so you won’t really see her around the common areas. That said, I love animals, so all pets are highly encouraged and welcome here! (Just keep in mind that the leasing office charges a $500 pet deposit and $50 a month for pet rent, unless you have an ESA letter to waive those fees.)

Finding the right fit has been oddly challenging, so I'm actually willing to take a financial hit to ensure I find a compatible roommate. The total cost for the unit is $3,117, plus utilities average about $400. Even though the layout is completely equal and half would be around $1,750, I’m only asking for a flat $1,300 a month including all utilities—gas, electricity, trash, water, sewer, and high-speed internet—completely included. To keep things simple and secure, I’m just looking for first and last month's rent upfront in lieu of a traditional security deposit. (There is a $50 application fee and $200 lease generation fee the office charges)

As for the vibe, I work two jobs with normal hours, so I’m rarely around during the day. When I am home, I value basic boundaries: a clean, not loud, peaceful environment—honestly, kind of like a library vibe where we can both just comfortably coexist, relax, and unwind. I’ve had a few bad roommate experiences in the past, so I’m really looking for a responsible, independent professional who works full-time. I prefer a polite, low-interaction dynamic where we don't necessarily have full-on conversations in passing, but can always count on a simple, respectful "good morning" and a smile rather than any passive-aggressiveness.

Because I have a perfect credit score and take pride in always paying rent early, I'm looking for a long-term roommate with that same stable financial mindset who appreciates the peace of mind of having bills taken care of ahead of time. (Rent here reports directly to credit.) I’m also big on basic, shared daily responsibilities, vacuuming once in a while, taking out the trash, and grabbing the mail.

I’m completely happy to provide my own background check, credit score, and references upfront, and I’m looking for someone who is willing to do the same. I already have pictures and a full video walkthrough of the place ready to go, so if this sounds like the kind of peaceful, stable home you're looking for, shoot me a text and I’ll gladly send them over! Good luck in your search! :)
