Valarie T - $1,000/month

Hi, I’m Valarie! I’m 49 and moving to Chicago in July for a fresh start. I have a background in mental health and advocacy, and I’m looking forward to exploring the city, meeting new people, and building a community. I love music, cooking, and grilling—there’s nothing better than good food and great conversation. I enjoy making new connections and creating a home that feels welcoming and comfortable.

What I’m Looking For:
I’d love to find a roommate in a safe, well-connected neighborhood with good public transportation. Ideally, I’d live with someone who’s friendly, open-minded, and respectful of shared spaces. I’m past the party scene but enjoy good company, occasional movie or music nights, and a space that feels like home rather than just a place to sleep. Bonus if you enjoy home-cooked meals or grilling out!

Lifestyle & Habits:

Work remotely and freelance but also plan to be out and about often.

Enjoy music, exploring the city, and making new connections.

Love cooking and grilling—always happy to share a meal!

Keep common areas clean and respect personal space.

Open to living with someone of any gender as long as we’re a good match.

If this sounds like a good fit, reach out—I’d love to chat and see if we’d make great roommates!
