Philly roommate help / apartment finding (original) (raw)

Well, hey there!

Are you 20-30 years old, SUPER NICE, with steady employment and a great attitude, but still SUPER POOR? Then we have tons in common already!

We should combine forces and snag an apartment or house with multiple bedrooms at an affordable price and split the rent so we can all sigh with relief when the rent check is due every month, instead of having a panic attack. Or maybe you're already doing that and you have an open room that you would like a genuine, compassionate, conscientious person- much like myself- to fill?

...or maybe you're just one person and you'd like to move in with me in my current apartment for roughly 460 a month when the lease needs to be renewed August 1st and we could look for something better in another year...

I would love to find 3-4 awesome people to live with in the upcoming year and I would love to pay less than I already do. If that's not going to happen, I'll need a roommate here at Dickinson & Broad, if you're interested.

About me:

24 yr old female
Employed (by a prestigious dog-walking service)
Certified holistic health counselor
Vegetarian
New-to-Philadelphia
Pet-owner (Guinea pigs & Cats)/ animal lover
Agreeable, Respectful, Courteous, Compassionate, Trustworthy
Non-smoker/ no drugs
Liberal-minded
Quiet but friendly
I love: music, art, philosophy, poetry, films, & all kinds of healthy FUN!

I believe in:
Gender equality
LBGTQ + rights
Eco-friendly living
Kindness
Good communication
Santa Claus

I've got:
Up to 460 dollars a month for rent including utilities ( I would prefer 250-400)
A good heart
A lot of patience
A VERY open mind
A sense of humor
A nice, polite, friendly, musically talented boyfriend
An awesome friend who might be moving here also but doesn't have a job in the area yet
A set of dishes
A vegetable peeler
Pets
A bike that I need to bring inside
A couple of nifty plants

What I DON'T got:

A lot of friends in the area (Just moved here...)
Furniture & appliances (Help, no microwave, toaster, etc. once my roommate leaves in mid-July!)
Good credit.... : ( ... long story : /
A lot of extra money
Roommates!

I want:

Some awesome, considerate, kind folks (who don't smoke inside & like pets) to look for a bigger place with, a similar person to share my current apartment with me starting Aug 1st, or a great spot in a nice house where great people are already living. I want to get into a comfortable situation that I can call home for at least a year or more.

I don't know if I my credit is good enough to get a lease on a place other than the place I have now without some other people with decent credit signing it with me, so it would be great if you already have a lease and you just want me to hand over the money. That I can definitely do!

I would like a place with a washer & dryer (this spot doesn't have them), big windows, wooden floors...but I'm not that picky right now.

NOTE: I NEED to remain living in this general vicinity (South Philly/ Center City) for my work. I would prefer to stay between Mifflin & Spruce/ 7th & 18th as I will have to be within quick biking distance of all my current clients to keep my job. So if you want to search for something with me, you need to be okay looking in this location. I'll need a place by Aug. 1st, the latest!

Please message me with questions, suggestions, prospects, anecdotes, etc if you've got any at all! Thanks a lot for reading!
