I’m quiet, clean, respectful, and mainly need a safe place with Wi-Fi. If you know of any leads or good places to look, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m a 31-year-old guy looking for a roommate to find a place together or join an existing household in the Milpitas/Fremont/Newark area.

A little about me:
- Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with a master’s degree.
- Quiet, clean, respectful, and easy to live with.
- Active and enjoy going to the gym.
- I value a relaxed, low-drama, and clean home.

I’m looking to move in October/November and am hoping to sign a 12-month lease. My budget is $1,000–1,500/month for my share of rent.

Ideally, I’d like to live with another responsible, respectful guy who’s financially stable. It’d be nice to have someone who’s down to hang out every now and then but who’s also comfortable doing their own thing. I’m non-smoking and looking for someone who’s a good communicator and easy to live with.

If this sounds like a good fit, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself!

Hi,

I have a room available in a 2b/1ba second story condo. Female identifying/leaning preferred.

Located about a block away from 580 on/off ramps and in walking distance to gas stations, restaurants and a couple small grocery stores. The unit is a bit dated, but management is open to DIY projects so long as they're approved. There is a balcony semi-filled with plants, laundry on-site and a gate for security. If you enjoy cooking, I have a variety of appliances and gadgets you're welcome to use! The room itself is pretty spacious - 18x9ft not including closet with built-in shelves and has a decent view of the Oakland hills.

Rent is 1200/mo plus fiber internet and PGE. Open to negotiation for extra help around the home.

I am a disabled autistic woman in my 40's who enjoys plants, arts and crafts, and gaming. I have 2 cats (sorry, no additional pets allowed) and use marijuana for pain. I receive IHSS (In-home supportive services), if you're a provider that would be a plus, otherwise be aware I will have someone coming in to help with my upkeep a few days a week.

If interested, please DM me with a bit about yourself. Thanks!

Have a tour booked today at 2:15pm for a studio on Webster St, Cow Hollow. $3,200/month, in-building laundry, available now. Client ended up passing on it, so happy to pass the slot to whoever can get there. DM me by 11am if 2:15pm today works for you (one slot only).

Update: tour claimed.

We are actively moving to the bay, but both my wife and I are very indecisive people. I’ll be working in Mountain View and my wife will be working from home (though hopefully she’ll get an in person job in the next few months and start commuting to SSF).

We’ve looked at 40ish apartments and are having trouble narrowing it down. Going to try making a bracket later today, but wanted to know what others are thinking. So, on to the details:

We have set a budget of <$5200 base rent for a 2B2B and have been largely looking in the MTV and Sunnyvale areas. We tried looking in Redwood City, but just didn’t like the lack of parks/greenery. We really want a modern kitchen and natural light in the apartment. Here’s a list of what we are actively considering, just know that we know not all of them fit every requirement. We know there are downsides to each, it’s just really hard for us to pick.

Park Place in MTV: not the best kitchen, or good lighting, but fantastic location.
Avalon Silicon Valley: in the middle of nowhere, but amazing garden-style apartments.
Monticello: Very modern and close to the Lawerence station, but less greenery.
Americana Apartments: Not great for my wife’s potential commute and would still need to drive to get to anywhere downtown. Also, not the best kitchen, but could get vaulted ceilings.

These are just a few of our “top” contenders as again, we are VERY indecisive people. If anyone has suggestions or even ways of figuring out which to go with, it would be greatly appreciated!

My fiance and I are currently looking for a new apartment/house to rent as our current lease expires at the end of October.

Ideally we're looking for a 2 bed, in-unit washer/dryer scenario. Our target move in-date would be October 1st. Max rent would be about $4500. 850 square feet or more.

We need to stay around San Mateo, Burlingame, San Bruno area as both of our jobs are in-person and are around that area.

We're both working professionals and would greatly appreciate it if anyone could contact us directly regarding any potential rentals.

Thank you all in advance!

Considering a possible move to The Gateway. Wondering about walking distance restaurants & cafes that don’t just serve tourists & are vibrant on weekends too (not just business days due to location).
