I'm looking for two new roommates to move into a house I’m renting, and here is a listing for one of the open rooms:
The Open Room (primary bedroom) - 176 square feet of open floor space - Walk-in closet (45 square feet) - Private en suite bathroom with shower, bathtub and 2 sinks (108 square feet) - $1,700 a month + utilities - Available May 2, 2026
The House - 1 roommate (me) - 1,950 square feet - 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms - In-unit washer and dryer - Full kitchen with dishwasher - 2 furnished living rooms - Street parking (but it's fairly easy to find spots)
The Location - Shoreview neighborhood in San Mateo - 7-min drive to downtown San Mateo - 7-min drive to San Mateo Caltrain station - 10-min walk to Bay Trail - Close proximity to 101 highway
The Contract - Month-to-month contract with a 2-month notice required to vacate - Landlord requires credit and background check before approval
About Me: I’m a 36-year old man working at a small bookstore. I live a pretty quiet life and spend most of my time at home reading or watching TV (with headphones on if it’s late evening hours). In a shared living situation, I try my best to make the situation work for everyone - I clean up after myself, treat people with respect, listen to feedback, and compromise. Ultimately, I just want a home that’s clean, peaceful and harmonious.
A few other things about me - I play percussion in a community concert band, so I’d love to jam sometime if you play an instrument! I also have a wide variety of interests, and some of the things I like include TV ensemble comedies (Parks & Rec, The Good Place, etc.), Janelle Monae’s music, Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels, RPG video games, Minnesota Timberwolves basketball, and heavily discounted donuts on the Too Good to Go app.
I’m open to all ages and genders. Couples are also welcome if you're open to splitting utilities evenly per person. Please DM me if you’re interested or have any questions!
Thank you, Harrison
