Kevin O - $800/month

About Me

I work in higher education in international admissions, so I travel for about 35-40% of the year. It’s an exciting and delightfully exhausting job that fits right with my personality, as I have been travelling since I was toddler and I enjoy meeting new people. Because of my travels, I have picked favorite foods and found ways to make them at home (yes, I cook for me and friends). When I am not traveling, I am watching something on TV, Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime or reading a book involving creations and/or perpetuations of systems of oppression within a US context. I may throw some shade, too, but within reason.

Available Room for Rent

Hip professional wanted as a roommate in Pilsen!

Are you fresh and educated? Do you enjoy central air and heat? Do love having a washer and dryer in unit? Are you someone who understands that “read” has TWO meanings?

If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, you’re probably who I am looking for! I’m a young professional who lives in a newly redone apartment in Pilsen and my awesome roommate is moving, as he accepted a great job out in the burbs.

The apartment is a smaller three bedroom with one bathroom, about a 8-minute walk from the 18th Pink Line station and about 10 minutes from the Damen Pink Line. The Cermak 21 bus is a block away and the Ashland 9 bus and the Blue Island 60 bus (both 24-hour buses) are about two blocks away. If you are someone who drives, I-55 and I-90/I-94 are within a 10-minute drive from the apartment and I-290 is about 15 minutes away. Street parking on 21st Place is free, and a number of the surrounding blocks also have free street parking.

Inside, there’s a full kitchen with beautiful stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and cute bathroom with grey textured tile and standing shower with modern glass sliding doors. The third bedroom is used a media room that doubles as guest room and includes additional storage. And yes, there is washer/dryer in-unit and central air and heat for those hot Chicago summers and the notoriously cold Chicago winters. Speaking of weather outside, there is also a pretty spacious balcony with a view of the neighborhood.

The room has a fairly sized closet and will include a twin bed. The new roommate will bring anything else they need to feel at home.

Rent for the room is $697.50 per month, but if you prefer a more even number and utilities included (as in gas, electric, cable and wireless internet) it will be $800 per month. To move in, you would pay first and last month’s rent. The lease ends April 30, 2018. No pets and no smoking.

Please respond with a bit about yourself and what you're looking in a roommate. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, too! Based on your email and how we connect, I'll invite you to see the place and we can get to know each other more, to see if we will be the right fit. Expect some back and forth with the email exchange, as I am envisioning we'll be having a conversation. :)
