INTERESTED? Please read all the way to the end before messaging me.

My ideal housemate is female-identifying, friendly, responsible, and a good communicator. Someone who wants to live in a quiet, clean, peaceful environment, a sanctuary to come home to. Someone who works full time or goes to school full time. We are more likely to get along if you enjoy a quiet home, love nature, and you will contribute to keeping the common areas clean and tidy.

The bedroom to be rented is approximately 11.5 ft x 10.5 ft (about 120 sq. ft.) plus built-in closet. The room is unfurnished. Easily fits a queen size bed, desk, and more.

The following common areas will be shared between myself and the incoming housemate: Bathroom with full tub. Kitchen with gas stove/oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and toaster oven. Living/dining room. Washer + dryer in basement.

Great Pasadena Location. Beautiful walkable neighborhood... just a few blocks from Arlington Garden, a free community plant-filled oasis. Easy freeway access to the 110, 210, and 134. Within 1.5 miles of Old Pasadena and South Pasadena restaurants, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, ArtCenter’s South Campus, and more. 15 min drive to Caltech, JPL, and Pasadena City College.

About me: I am in my first year of grad school in Marriage + Family Therapy, and I also work as a yoga teacher. I’m into healthy cooking, nature, hiking, AcroYoga, and climbing. I am fully vaccinated. I’ve enjoyed sharing my home with housemates/tenants since 2016, and have hosted grad students, international post-docs, and professionals, including people in the LGBTQIA+ community.

No pets. Smoke-free, drug-free home. Shoes off inside our home. Covid vaccination required. Basic internet, water, and trash are included. Electricity & gas utilities divided between myself and the incoming housemate, averaging $40 to 65 per month. My home is not handicap accessible: There are stairs down from the street level and up to the front door.

**INTERESTED? To be considered for the room, please message me with information about yourself, your work or school situation, your preferred move in date, and your COVID vaccination status.

I schedule virtual Zoom meetings first. If that goes well, our second meeting would be in person for a house tour.

Rental application required, which is $55, and non-refundable. This includes a credit check, criminal background check, as well as housing and employment reference checks.
