I'm a 26 year old female who currently lives in SF and works in west Berkeley at a participatory city planning firm. I love what I do so much that I will begin a master's program in City and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley in August. Thus, I am finally giving in and moving to the east bay. (and yes, I already have a job lined up so finances will not be an issue)
I am looking for east bay housing starting August 1st or 15th but I want to know where I am going to live before I leave for my summer travels in early June.
In terms of living situation I am open to many different options. I think I’ll know the right one when I see it. In no particular order I am open to living in my own place (studio or 1 bed) OR renting a room in a house OR taking over the lease of a 2-4 bedroom home.
My building is on SE part or campus but Im open to living in a variety of neighborhoods so long as it has good transit access (I don’t have a car), nice neigh shops/amenities, and is within a 20 min bike ride of my building. These are some of the neighborhoods I’m open to: Near North Berkeley BART (as far west as San Pablo), D’town Berkeley, Rockridge or North Oakland/Temescal.
I am a vegetarian who loves to cook delicious whole foods so it is very important to be near a good source of produce such as Monterey Market, Berkeley Bowl or farmer's market. (or some other east bay secret store that I don’t know about yet)
In terms of my cleaning habits, since I like to cook, I very much appreciate and need a clean kitchen. For me, the kitchen is the most important room to keep clean. Although it is preferable if common spaces and bathrooms also reach this level of cleanliness.
My room is usually neat and clean, although since I will be a student, I can imagine a couple day stints where laundry may go unfolded surrounded by stacks of books and papers…but this would all stay in my room.
I practice Mysore style ashtanga yoga in the mornings at a studio near the n Berkeley bart so I am an early to bed early to rise type of gal (during the week).
In terms of fun on the weekends, I usually like to go on nice hikes or long walks though a new neighborhood, go out dancing or see live music at night, go to art parties, host or attend potlucks, or cuddle up on the couch and watch a good film.
I am planning to travel this summer and I would like to start a lease August 1st not June 1st. I have a storage unit reserved for the summer, but if someone wanted a furnished sublet, I would be just as happy to let them use my bedroom set.
Please contact if you have any leads or want me to be your next roommate
Thanks,
Beth
