The house is a few blocks off of Walker road on 180th ave.; basically at
185th and Walker Rd. on the west side of Beaverton very near PCC Rock Creek
& the Oregon Graduate Institute. It's also pretty close to the Tektronix,
Nike, and the various Intel campuses. The Willow Creek stop of the max train
is a 10 minute walk (3 minutes on a bicycle) or 5 minute walk to the bus.
The house is a 2,200 square foot 7 year old 3 bedroom 2 ½ bathroom house
with central air conditioning, a dishwasher, washer & dryer, skylights,
vaulted ceilings, and a nice back yard. Most of the furniture is already
there along with cooking stuff, plates, glasses, etc.
Your bedroom would be upstairs. The only other room is at the other end of
the hallway, so you'd have decent privacy. You'd share the upstairs bathroom
with one other roommate. The room can either be mostly furnished or
unfurnished. As I mentioned, most of the rest of the house has furniture
already. There's "expanded basic cable" (CNN, MTV, food network, and such)
into your room.
Our responsibilities are to keep the common areas clean, help with yard work
occasionally, and treat the house well.
The rent is $435/month. That includes the utilities, such as electricity,
phone, heat, water, garbage, & basic cable (except for your long distance
phone calls and such) so you don't have to worry that a cold winter or a hot
summer will break your budget.
In addition, a housekeeper comes twice a month and cleans the main areas of
the house. This is one of my little luxuries. We would still need to keep
the common areas clean in the meantime. I also have high speed internet
cable modem into the house and a wireless base station set up. If you'd like
to get in on that, we can go $20/mo. each.
This is a non-smoking, no drugs or dogs household. There are two cats who
are declawed in front. While they're normaly curious, you can close the door
to your room to keep them out.
