Short-term room needed

[thegreenyear.livejournal.com]

I'll be moving to Boston in January, as I've just accepted a job at IBM in Waltham. I am looking for two different living situations: 

1) I need a room beginning January 15th through March 1 or April 1. This is just for myself. I am not a smoker and I have no pets. I'll be using this time to get a feel for the area and to look for an apartment of my own. Budget: cheap. Up to $900 with all utilities included. 

2a) I need a 2 bedroom apartment (or 1 bedroom with office) beginning March 1 or April 1, which I am looking to lease for a year or more. Up to $1650 with all utilities included, but would prefer something less expensive. 

OR

2b) I need another single parent who would like to share housing beginning March 1 or April 1. My son is two. If our kids are similar in age, we could find a 3 bedroom and save ourselves plenty of money. 

Requirements for both places

• Parking for one vehicle
• Washer and dryer onsite

Thanks in advance for checking in with people you may know who have something like this available.

Are you specifically looking to live in the Davis Square area? I don't think it'd be a particularly fun commute to Waltham, but I can understand if you want to do it anyway. If not, you might want to specify where you are looking to live.

Good luck!

I actually am, yes, but only for the short term. I was hoping mostly that someone here might know a cool single parent re: the long term. I totally should have specified! Thanks for asking.
