We are three, 30-40 something, mixed professionals looking for a roommate to share our one-of-a-kind, eclectic, artsy house near downtown Aurora.
Household interests include: playing music, gardening, cooking, yoga, dance, hiking, camping, cycling, volunteering, film, and music festivals. Some people like to keep to themselves in their rooms and some like to participate, whatever floats your boat! We're here for it!
We are clean, honest, and drama~free. We are a safe and inclusive place for queer, trans and non-binary people, so acceptance and mutual respect of one another is important to us. We are *mostly* an alcohol-free but 420-friendly household. People can rent long or short-term since rent is month-to-month. We've had students, actors, musicians, interns and the like in the past.

RENT INCLUDES ALL UTILITIES
Rent does not include paper products, laundry supplies, etc.
Rent is month-to-month with 60 day's notice to vacate.
First and last month's rent plus 50% security deposit required upon move-in date.
So $3,000 ($1,200 + $1,200 + $600) to move in on the 1st.
Mid-month move-ins rent will be prorated, meaning you won't have to pay for the full month.
If interested, the deposit is required to reserve the space.
An Airbnb option is available if you’d like to try before you buy, or just use that option. Rent is a little more, but then you don’t have to pay the security deposit or last month’s rent upfront.
Please send us a brief introduction, time frame, duration, and any pressing expectations.
We will meet in a local, public place prior to the viewing.
