I (Alex) am a 34 year old cis male entrepreneur and ̶s̶i̶n̶g̶e̶r̶/̶s̶o̶n̶g̶w̶r̶i̶t̶e̶r̶/̶. I am a music lover, have a science background, enjoy cooking, fitness + the outdoors (lifting, running, cycling, tennis, hiking, skiing), reading about science (fair bit of research papers), and I listen to a fair amount of podcasts like Huberman Lab, Bloomberg, The Economist, Freakonomics, and anything AI, business, or tech related. Admittedly, for the past 2 years I’ve been obsessed with AI to the point of it becoming almost my only personality trait.. 😅. I own a small business that specializes in AI consulting and automation, and I currently work from home.
My roomie Iván is a 35-year-old post-doctoral researcher at Northwestern University. Originally from Mexico he moved to the US in 2018 for grad school and landed in Chicago after graduating. He works typical 9-6 hours (sometimes weekends), values his privacy but isn't antisocial, and enjoys running, dancing, watching soccer, and listening to live music while having some beers on weekends. He plays guitar when time allows and eats most meals at the university cafeteria.
We're both pretty easy-going drama free fellas, 420 friendly, LGBTQ friendly, and pretty damn liberal. We consider ourselves pretty chill. We don't throw ragers or keggers, usually more along the lines of kickbacks, potlucks, or small friend gatherings once in a blue moon, but mostly we're just busy with our jobs, side projects, and significant others. We aren't super anal-retentive neat freaks; do with your room what you will, but for the love of God, don't leave your shit all over the damn place and your half-eaten food everywhere. In other words, respect the common areas 🙂
We're looking for someone that is clean, easy to live with, respectful of other people's belongings, communicative, and financially responsible. We're pretty communicative of what we expect from each other (as far as housekeeping goes) and expect the same from our roommate-to-be.
If you feel that you meet the aforementioned criteria, feel like you'd get along with us, will never ever have trouble making rent on time, and would have no problem living in this gem of an apartment in Buena Park (half a mile north of Wrigley Field, 2 doors down from the Holiday Club), please, shoot us an email ASAP!

Hello Chicago!
My name is Alex, and my roommate (I prefer the term 'flatmate') Iván and I are looking for a clean, respectful, amicable, and above all else —financially responsible— flatmate to fill a vacant room (ft. private bathroom) in our spacious dream apartment starting 9/1/25 or ASAP. I (Alex) have renewed my lease at this place for 8 years straight, so it's safe to say we love it here and we think you will too!
**LEASE DETAILS:**
You can move in immediately (September 1st or ASAP), and the year-long lease runs from October 1st, 2025 through October 1st, 2026. Since our official lease renews October 1st, we're looking for someone who can commit to the full year to avoid the headache of finding another roommate right when the new lease starts.
NOTE: Plz respond to Craigslist ad linked above to make our triage easier!
Your room (pictures #11-16) will cost you $1080.40, is 11.5”x12.5”, has one massive closet that runs the length of the room and its own full bathroom.
NOTE: Previous roommate removed the folding wooden closet doors, but these are in our storage closet and available. Obvs his tapestries are all going to go. Desk is included (it's not very nice), as is the red bookshelf, and standing light.

-2000 square feet
-Central heating and A/C
-Back deck (grilling allowed)
-Front balcony/garden (shared with our extremely chill neighbors).
-Massive living room/den
-Dining room with electric fireplace (currently used as 2nd living room)
-2 bathrooms (you will have your own inside your room, but can use ours in emergencies)
-Spacious fully furnished kitchen with dishwasher
-Laundry (washer/dryer) in-unit
-Parking spot available (for additional $175/month request to property managers)
-1-minute walk (400 ft) from Red Line (yet ideally insulated from the train's ruckus by two rows of buildings – can't even hear it)
-13-minute walk (0.8 miles) to the lake (waveland tennis courts, sydney marovitz golf course, lakeshore path)
-10 minute walk (0.5 miles) to Wrigley Field
-Indoor bike storage (hanging bike rack with room for one additional bike)
-Home gym (belongs to me, but I’m happy to share :-)) which consists of an adjustable bench, adjustable dumbbells (up to 75 lbs each), an adjustable kettlebell (up to 75 lbs), a pull-up bar, a weighted vest, gymnastics rings, and a few other odds and ends.
