Update: Landlord negotiations have resulted in new, somewhat-more-reasonable prices. These are tentative and could probably vary $25 either way once the haggling at lease-signing is completed.

My roommates are all graduating, but I really want to find a way to keep my apartment. It's 5 minute walk out of Davis Sq. on the Teele Sq. side, and close to both the bike path and Hodgkins Park. I'm looking for three new roommates:





Room#1 - 11x14, $750 (avail. Aug 1st, and possibly earlier)


Room#2 - 10x12, $675 (avail. Sept. 1st)


Room#3 - 7.5x14, $625 (avail. Sept. 1st)

The best situation would be three people who know each other or are looking together, to avoid the bad odds on 4 strangers being able to get along with each other. Failing that, the last two rooms are on the 3rd floor and have their own bath, and probably the ideal arrangement there is for a couple looking for a bedroom + study setup. That's what we have now. But, if you want to live close to Davis very cheaply, the smaller one is definitely livable, and there is plenty of storage space in the rest of the house for your stuff.

It's a really nice place, which is why I want to stay so badly. It's spacious, has hardwoord floors, gets good light, and was re-furbed only about 5 years ago. It's on a fairly quiet side street, but very close to everything in Davis and Teele. It's also got a gas stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, laundry in the basement, a decent-sized back yard and front porch, off-street parking, etc. Utils(gas, electric, cable/internet, poland spring) range from $70 to $150 a month, with the latter a worst-case winter scenario.

As for me, I'm 28, and work as a lab tech at MIT. I'm into the indie rock, politics, literature, the web, photography, writing, gaming, travel, soccer, and various other random stuff. I clean up after myself, but I'm not too picky as long as the place doesn't turn into a flophouse. I'm somewhat of a homebody and am around quite a bit, but I'm usually working on something or other. I'd like people who at least share some interests with me and can keep up a conversation, but I'm not looking for best buddies or anything. I'm not a big fan o' drama, of the interpersonal variety.

Lifestyle-wise, I have a beer once in awhile, sneak the occasional cigarette, etc. I don't mind cookouts and gatherings and people hanging out, but I don't want to live in party central. I'm gay-friendly, and probably pet-friendly, depending on whether I'm allergic or not. I know we are allowed to have a cat, but I'm not totally sure on dogs.

If you want to see more, I've put together a photo tour of the whole place, which also shows the available rooms in quite a bit more detail. I'll be happy to show it this weekend and throughout next week. Comment here or email jddunn at gmail dot com if you are interested.
