Our intentional community in Hillsborough is looking for a new housemate or two. Do more than just share a roof with those you live with. We’re looking for long-term residents who are excited to live in a community. Room Available: Aug 20 with flexible move-in dates | Rent: $1,680 ( ~$300 more for couples) Description: 12x11 feet, shared public bathroom with two others. About the Community Athenaeum is an intellectually curious, friendly, caring, and consensus-driven community, founded in 2015. As individuals, our values vary, but we all have a desire for community - we take active steps to bring people together and foster connections. We enjoy sharing dinner most nights. We have bi-weekly house meetings. Costs, utilities, and groceries are shared. We buy some bulk foods and keep the kitchen stocked. We host ‘Friday Night Dinners’ for friends twice a month, occasional lectures, cookouts, holiday dinners, and hikes. We’re all fully vaccinated. This is a somewhat risk-tolerant house, regarding COVID. Most of us don’t mask up outside of the home all the time. The Roommates We are a group of six adults (including our next housemate), in our late 20s - early 40s who come from a variety of backgrounds but love sharing, talking, and eating food together. We are open-minded and welcoming of varying identities. There’s often something fresh-baked in the kitchen, a hike happening on the weekends, book reading on the couch, and dancing just because. We also have our own lives; alone time is understood and respected. S: she/her, queer/trans white scientist & artist.

Location We live in a large house near Crystal Springs Reservoir with trails, on a quiet, peaceful street with an expansive, tree-lined, private backyard, modern kitchen, sauna, jacuzzi, swimming pool, and art workshop. We’re halfway between San Francisco and Palo Alto for an easy commute and access to the city- a 23 minute drive to Stanford University and a 25 minute drive to the Mission. Conveniently close to 280 and under 10 minutes to groceries. Two of us commute to Stanford so you could ride along too. We’re 3 miles from the Millbrae Caltrain station. The house is on top of the hill, with views of the bay. It’s bikeable if you’re ambitious or have an e-bike. Send us an email to get an application!
