Name:  Gina and Rheanna

Rent: $475
Description: Aloha! Looking for a very warm, healthy, vibrant person, to complete this beautiful home - a lovely, large 3 BR sunny house by Ideal Market on 18th and Cedar- only 12 blocks north of the main Naropa campus.  The house is completely remodeled, and beautiful with hardwood floors throughout, clothes washer/dryer, newish very efficient furnace, A/C, garage, a large fenced yard, deck, and automatic sprinkler system, garden areas. The kitchen is also remodeled and has wonderful appliances including a large stainless steel fridge, dishwahser, GAS STOVE AND OVEN, and microwave.
You would share this lovely home with two mindful females in their late 20's- extremely into the outdoors in every way, dancing, yoga, healthy vibrant existence, LOVE, organic food, art, painting, music, and promoting positive change in the world. We are wanting a healthy environment focussed on naturally being high, and very little substance use.
This is definitely a non-smoking house!
Because of Boulder's stupid zoning laws, there CAN ONLY BE ONE PERSON PER ROOM, and can't have a couple share only one room. It is very sad and a shame, but true.
It is available immediately or August 1st, or July 1st, or anywhere in between. The lease is for one year with of course an option to renew if you love it here. It is 6 blocks from Ideal Market, and a 4-minute bike ride to Pearl Street Mall or the mountains, with no lights or traffic along the way. This is one of the best locations in Boulder!
There is a cat door. Pets are nego - just depends on the pet.

Name:  Brien Darby
Contact: brien.darby@gmail.com 785-341-4050
Rent:  $416/mo plus utilities
Description: We have a great house reserved in South Boulder (Martin Acres) for a move-in date of August 14th. We have five of the rooms filled (three men, two women) and we are looking for our sixth roommate. The room that is available is on the top floor, has hardwood floors, and is fairly sizable. The house has a bathroom on both floors, a large kitchen, a living room, a laundry room with washer and dryer, a very large yard (which we have been working on putting in a veggie garden), a back porch/sunroom which is the whole length of the back of the house and a garage. Right now, as only one of us has a car, we are considering turning the garage into a workshop. The house has one cat, who will be spending most of the time downstairs. We might be able to take a roommate with a dog, but we would have to check with our land lady--who is very friendly and easy to work with. In addition to rent, we will be splitting the trash, water, electric, and gas bills. Also, four of us are already considering sharing food costs, but that could be discussed more in the future. We are really trying to build a community environment, so sharing tasks, responsibilities, and household items will be key. Some activities that we all share in common are yoga, sustainability, t'ai chi, activism and local beer, if that gives you an idea of what we're all about. Rent is $416 a month and the deposit is also $416. First month's rent is due on Aug. 1st. After that, rent is always due on the 14th. Thanks for looking and please let us know if you have any questions!
