Room for rent in Machesney Park – $500 + utilities
Private room available ASAP in a peaceful house behind Goodwill in Machesney Park. Rent is $500/month, and utilities usually run around $100–200 depending on usage and weather.

The room is about 11x10 and unfurnished. The rest of the house is furnished, and you’d have access to the living room, kitchen, dining room, shared bathroom, and washer/dryer. Parking is outside, and garage space may be possible if needed.

We have a very tame orange cat, and we may be open to one pet depending on the situation.

This is a peaceful, respectful home, not a party house. We’re usually settled down by midnight. No smoking, vaping, or drugs. Overnight guests would need to be discussed ahead of time.

A little about us: one of us is a musician and home fairly often except for some late gig nights, and the other works a regular weekday schedule. We keep the house calm and low-drama.

Background check and proof of income are required.
