Another Roommate Post - for September 1

[pennylane291.livejournal.com]

Looking for a friendly roommate to share a comfortable, beautiful home in Medford Hillside, just outside Somerville - $825.
Sadly, I couldn't find anything in Somerville. I really had wanted to stay. I just signed the lease and am now looking for a roommate.

Me: Female, early 40's, Artist/designer. Very clean and organized - but casual about it. Very responsible. Mostly vegetarian. Friendly and respectful. Left leaning and environmentally friendly. Open to sharing the occasional meal or coffee, but enjoy my alone time too.

You: Female or gay male, 30+, non-smoker, no pets (allergies). Easy-going and responsible. Clean, communicative, and considerate. Seeking a similar situation...

Apartment: Owner occupied. Recently renovated and nicely painted. Decent sized bedrooms with ceiling fans, living room, office, sunroom, side porch. Hardwood floors. Tile bathroom and kitchen. Kitchen has microwave, dishwasher, gas stove, and hook-up for a stackable washer dryer.

Minutes drive/bike to 93, Mystic Parkway, Arlington, Cambridge, Somerville, Davis and Porter Square. The 96, 80, and 94 buses are 5-6 minutes walk away. The 95 is a 12 min walk. The 101 is a 14 min walk. Easy street parking - no permit required.

I have most household furniture and supplies (except the w/d) but have pared down to the essentials and those I love. Definitely room for more (kitchen table/island, couch, chair) - but prefer a zen home to an overcrowded or cluttered one.

Let's meet up for coffee and see if we might be a good fit. If we are, I can ask the landlord for a showing.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I can't help you there but I wanted to mention we also couldn't stay in Somerville and now live in Medford. Welcome to the area! I'm not sure if we live in West Medford or not, I get totally confused by that as people seem to have different ideas about what's West Medford?

Thanks! I'm not really familiar with Medford at all. But its behind Tufts, between Boston Ave and the small Whole Foods off Mystic Parkway. A bit suburban for my tastes. The landlord called it 'Hillside' - which I had never heard of before. But Danish Pastry House is close - so that's good (& dangerous).

I think of 'Medford Hillside' as the area on the north side of Tufts, east of Route 16, and 'West Medford' as the area west of Route 16. The West Medford train station is on High Street (Route 60).

Thanks Ron!

Nice post! I got some hardwood flooring in Loveland, OH (http://www.jlgflooring.com) and it sounds pretty similar to your flooring!
