Cohousing-L Mailing List: Room Available at JP Cohousing in Boston

Hip Mama + Old Soul Seek Kindred Spirit to Share Cool Condo w/Awesome
Amenities

Come on in from the cold at JP CoHousing!  Live with great roommates  
in a
comfortable, friendly, clean home, right on the T.

The Price:
$550 includes all utils (heat, elec, water, even laundry, broadband/ 
wireless internet and parking space; however please note I do not  
currently subscribe to cable).  Rent is month-to-month. Either short  
or long-term okay.

The Space:
You will have a good-sized unfurnished room with closet and 3 windows  
(which you are welcome to paint/setup as you like) in a compact 2.5- 
bedroom condo unit on the 1st floor at JP CoHousing, a 30-unit  
condominium development built in 2005.  (Room could be semi-furnished  
if desired.)  The unit itself is not as spacious as a triple-decker- 
style apartment, but the access to the common space more than makes  
up for that.

The Place:
You will have access to the shared facilities, and to guest rooms for  
visitors ($10/night). There are meals that you can sign up for ($5)  
about once a week.  You can participate in the CoHousing community as  
much or as little as you like, although we are a self-managed condo  
association so there are shared responsibilities to maintain the  
facilities (about 4 hours a month is requested).  To learn more about  
the development we live in, see the website, www.jpcohousing.org.

The Housemates:
Your housemates will be a 32 yo community health worker and a 9 yr  
old who goes to a nearby public school.  We have an older cat, a  
young cat, and a kitten (indoor/outdoor depending on season.)  My  
kid’s other parent visits 2 evenings/week and we’re on good terms.   
We speak English & Spanish and are welcoming and respectful to all  
cultures and orientations. We’re progressive, involved in the  
community, and into green living.

The Neighborhood:
You will be living in beautiful and diverse Jamaica Plain.  We’re  
located 5 minutes from Green St. T Station on the Orange Line.  JP  
has a lot of parks and public recreation areas, as well as an active  
arts community and great cultural life.  I think of our area as  
pretty safe for an urban neighborhood.
