COMING SOON: Seeking 3rd (female) roommate for 1BR/1BA in a 2BR/2BA apartment at Ava Ballston Square in Ballston/Arlington - waiting on official renewal offer, expecting to come late April / early May but wanted to get feelers out early.

FYIs: No pets, no drugs, no smoking/vaping (also apartment is smoke-free facility), we don't really drink but you do you
