Room for Rent in large, nice shared home

Greetings. 😊

Please read entire ad before responding. :-)

Since COVID, we have been doing much of the roommate interviewing via e-mail, phone, and Zoom before inviting people over to the house. This has been working rather well, so we are going to stick with this process. In order to help us determine if you would be a good fit in our communal living situation, we would really like to learn as much about you from your e-mail as possible. This helps us try to figure out how everyone will get along with the other personalities in the house. Lengthy, detailed bios, in addition to links to social media accounts, professional accounts such as LinkedIn, and resumes are all super helpful. Of course, PLEASE DO NOT send us any of your special life numbers, SS, CC, etc. You should be very protective of those. We do not want any of those. We just get so many scam/spam/garbage e-mails that we could really use your help in determining that you are a for-reals human AND ALSO if you might get along well with the other roommates. If you do not include these things, we will likely not respond.

Please also let us know what YOU are looking for in a living situation. If it looks to be a good fit in both directions, we can follow-up with a telephone or Skype call to chat about the roomies, house dynamics, etc. If that goes well, we can meet up for coffee and discuss setting up a time for you to come look at the house.

6 month lease. Month to month after that.

Unfurnished room available for rent in a very large (3700+ sq ft), 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, furnished Hillsboro home. Rather large walk in closet and windows overlooking the back yard and greenspace. I am not sure of the exact dimensions…I had them written down around here somewhere. Works out to be ~207 sqft plus a 38sqft closet. This room shares 1.5 bathrooms with 1 other room. The last 2 photos in the set are of the actual room. I recently updated this room with a fresh paint, and some closet remodeling.

Very quiet neighborhood, surrounded by green space. Very close to Noble Woods Park so easy access to trails. Sits on ~ 1/2 acre so we have a few outdoor areas as well. Fire pit, hammock, etc... Deck and patio, hardwood floors.

Multiple living areas on 2 floors for added privacy among roommates. Pool table room, lounge, home theater room. Share home with mostly working professionals, Intel and tech folks, 20's-40's, COED, multi-cultural. It is a very stable home. We have been doing the roommate thing for 10+ years now at this house. Of course, a background and credit check will be required. Axe murderers need not apply.

Close to Intel. Not too far from Nike and Pacific University.

#47 bus comes by on Baseline, although it's a bit of a walk through the park. House is about a 30 minute walk to either the Orenco or Hawthorn Farm Max stations. A little further and you can also catch the 46 and 48 bus line. Nice little shopping area up at Orenco. La Provence, New Seasons, and a handful of other restaurants and cafes in the area. Walk to farmer's market in the summer.

No pets.
No cigarette smoking or vaping.

Rent = $750/mo plus split of utilities, internet, yardwork, etc.
Move in = first, last, + $750 refundable security deposit = $2250
Single occupancy only. No pets.
There is an option for working off the yardwork costs.

I have seen bills range between $150-$200+ per person per month. Average is ~$175.
We split the utilities evenly among however many people live in the house. If you were to move in, you would be roomie #3. As it is a very, very large house, there are multiple separate common areas, only 3 people living in a 5 bedroom house, and many people are out being active on the weekends, it never feels crowded. The bills are a little higher with only 3 people, but there is more personal space, so...
