Room for rent in Southwest Berkeley near Ashby BART — $1,650/month all-inclusive (gas, electricity, water, high-speed internet, trash, maintenance — everything except phone). The home is a custom-rebuilt 1920s eco-bungalow with radiant floors, non-toxic materials, whole-house water filtration, and a private backyard with deck. You won’t find this anywhere else at this price in Berkeley.
This is a cooperative, interactive household, not just a room to stay in. The ideal housemate is friendly and social, enjoys conversation, uses the kitchen and common spaces, and pitches in on a few household chores each week. Shared meals happen now and then when schedules allow. They’re a nice part of living here, and something we’ll talk about when we meet.
The room is spacious, with a private bath, built-in desk and cabinets, and a custom closet. Kitchen and backyard access are included. A driveway parking space is available some of the time, and street parking is easy on this quiet one-way street.
Terms: week-to-week lodger arrangement (California Civil Code §1946.5), with rent paid monthly. Two weeks’ written notice from the lodger, one week from the homeowner. One month’s security deposit plus first month’s rent due at move-in.
A friendly house cat lives here, and other pets are considered case by case. No smoking or vaping indoors; it’s fine outside and in the backyard.
When you reach out, please tell me a bit about yourself: your work situation, where you’re coming from, references, and how you like to share a home. Looking forward to meeting you!
