Today’s Rental is “Seeking three great additions to our new group home in Mt. Pleasant!”

This rental is located at 19th and Lamont Street, NW. The Craigslist ad says:

“$1200 3 bedrooms available in spacious, sunny Mt. Pleasant home ($800-1300)

Seeking three great additions to our new group home in Mt. Pleasant! The house is a massive, sun-filled 5-bedroom/2-bathroom historic townhouse with a shared living room, dining room, entry hall, kitchen, and a lovely back patio/garden. The location is unbeatable — it’s just blocks away from historic Mt. Pleasant, with grocery stores, restaurants, a farmer’s market, and Rock Creek Park.

We are two women in our late 20s and a small dog, excited to fill the house with plants, art, good food, and conversation. We are relaxed, clean, drama-free, and default to open communication. We value social, community-living, but also are independent and respectful of each other’s space. This is not a party house, but we wholly welcome gatherings of friends, dinners, potlucks, BBQs, etc.

We are looking for housemates who are independent, clean, friendly, and who care about collectively building a home together. We are hoping to have a mix gendered household, but are open to anyone who is the right fit. Ideally, you are in your late 20s and 30s with experience living in group homes.
