Max B - $1,500/month

**Targeting early 2027 move now. Earliest I'm willing to move is Jan/Feb but open to anytime before spring. Also not set in stone on my lease terms - very much open to a sublet or lease takeover situation depending on the timeframe!**

Hi! I'm looking for a life restart and adventure in Chicago, moving from the Boston area. I'd love to be close to the LGBTQ nightlife and would love a roommate (or roommates) who already has friends in the area in that scene, but I'm also perfectly fine with straight roommates of any gender. I will be sharing custody with my ex of our 20-lb pug/Jack Russell mix, so she'd need to be with me part of the year (not at first in all likelihood) and the place needs to be dog-friendly. I'd cover any pet fees of course! She absolutely loves people and will be your best friend -- she also gets along fine with other dogs, and likely cats who are already used to dogs though that'd have to be a discussion.

About me: I'm in my late 30s, but you probably wouldn't guess that from meeting me. I am an avid bodybuilder, big college and Boston sports fan (though I'll surely adopt the Cubs as my second team), and casual gamer (PS5). I also play the guitar and sing. Not a germ freak but definitely prefer someone who takes care of the space - open to splitting the cost for a housecleaner service as well. Will have my car (an EV) so parking and access to charging is important to me. I'm a Costco guy, so you'll be able to benefit from that if so desired. I'm not planning to throw massive parties, but I'm also going to be in a big city for the first time and plan to go out quite a bit.

Target neighborhoods are Lakeview/Northalsted, Wrigleyville, Uptown, Buena Park, and Andersonville; open to something outside of that (Lincoln Park, Ravenswood) in the right situation. I'd LOVE to be able to walk or bike to Quads Gym. Access to public transit is very important as well.

Let's chat!
