Dorks wanted for cool townhouse in Forest Grove!
Hi there, I’m Aaron. My roommate is moving out later this year (Aug. 31st), so I’ve got an opening at a pretty sweet townhouse here in Forest Grove.
About the house: It’s a three-story duplex with tons of natural light and an almost beach-house-esque feel. The room that’s being vacated is honestly one of the coolest rooms I’ve ever seen in a house, and it could be yours! It has vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, a walk-in shower, a soaking tub (separate from the shower) and a fireplace that’s connected to both the bedroom and the bathroom, so you can enjoy it just as easily from the tub as you can from the bed. It’s also on the third floor, which means plenty of airflow and a safe, secluded feeling surrounded by trees.
As for the rest of the house, we have a big open-concept second floor with living room, dining room, kitchen, half bath, another fireplace, and a small deck on each end. The common spaces are already furnished, but there is room for additions. The bottom floor has a third bedroom and bathroom as well as the garage, though I use most of that bedroom as a workspace. Laundry units and fiber wifi are included. One thing you’ll have to be okay with is cats, because I’ve got an absolute monster. (In a good way! She’s very friendly; she’s just big.) We’ve actually converted the back deck into a catio with homemade structures for her to climb around in; if you have a cat they’ll definitely enjoy it too!
The house is in a quiet neighborhood, but it’s only a ten minute walk from downtown Forest Grove; food, bars, shops, gyms, etc. are very easy to access! The college is about a fifteen-minute walk, and there’s a bus stop just two blocks away. There’s enough driveway space for two additional cars, with more on-street parking easily available.
About me: I make scale models for a living, and if you don’t think that’s rad as hell, we’re probably not going to be a great match. I love sharing my interests with people, especially shows, movies, games, anime, etc. I’m also a fairly good cook, if I do say so myself! My roommates and I have traditionally had an arrangement where each of us has a day of the week to cook for everyone, and I’d love to keep that up with whoever lives here next.
About you: I’m hoping to find a roommate or two in a similar position to myself: 20s to 30s, artsy-fartsy, looking for a place to put down roots, looking for friends, and a huge dork. If we can’t debate the finer points of morality in Star Trek, what’s even the point? I don’t require you to have any particular political leanings, but I do require that you be okay with queer people. I’m not queer myself, but most of my friends are, and they’ll be visiting. Open to couples–your room has two sinks, so it’s perfect for it! Cats are welcome, but I’m a little skeptical of dogs.
The rent for this apartment is $2700/mo., which we would split evenly. The utilities are around an extra $300/mo., which we would also split evenly. So for a single roommate, you would pay around $1500/mo, and if there are two of you, each would pay around $1000. Also, to meet the required household income of 3x the rent, you would need to make at least $3800/mo., preferably more. This is a non-smoking property. Please contact me if you have any questions!
