The Davis Square Community

A lovely, geeky apartment in the heart of Porter Square is looking for new tenants, but is more or less right down Elm Street. If this is considered too OT, though, let me know and/or remove it.



Singularity is looking for three people to fill out the remainder of the apartment. Read below!

The Apartment
Singularity/Rule 34 is a gorgeous second floor apartment in the heart of Porter Square. I've lived here in some configuration or another for something like nine years now, and have an excellent relationship with the landlord. The rent is approximately $800/person, but can easily scale with bedroom size! Don't let that deter you!

More about the apartment . . .

• Location - The house is on a quiet tree-lined street off of Elm Street, the main thoroughfare between Porter and Davis Square. The walk from here to Porter is a bit over five minutes.
• Space and Amenities - We have a nice-sized living room and dining room, a big kitchen with modern amenities including a fairly new stove and a dishwasher, and a free washer and dryer in the basement. We also have two porches in good repair that have served us well in social situations.
• Furnishings - Most of the common rooms will be pre-furnished with our things, but we'd love additions to the place! Come see; it's pretty swank.
• Landlord - The landlord only owns this property. He's kind, respectful, attentive, timely and cares a lot about his tenants; he's offered us a lower rent (the price listed is the lower price) than he would offer to new people, and he's had us over for dinner a few times in the seven years we've lived here.
• Geekery - The apartment would come with everything we own, including a full entertainment system (with Playstation III, XBox 360 with Rock Band 2, and Wii), a laser printer and tons of board / card games, and wired and wireless Internet options.
• Misc. - No pets. No smoking, even on the porches; you'll be asked to do it on the curb. House is in no way childproofed.

The Tenants
Ask of recently, I've been a video game production/administration geek. I enjoy the arts (acting, writing), cooking, recreational gaming (board / card games and so on) and general puttering around on the Internet. I'm open-minded, communicative, friendly and responsible.


You!
I'm looking for someone who . . .

• Pays rent and other bills on time, and takes responsibility for managing the cost breakdown of one utility in the house.
• Keeps the apartment clean. I'm not obsessive about it, but I like to think of the place as a home as much as possible, and that includes keeping it tidy. We've lately been able to manage keeping the place clean without a chore list, and I'd love to keep it that way.
• Is open-minded, specifically to queer/poly folks.
• Is communicative. I try to address any house concerns in a forthright, tactful manner that respects everyone's perspectives, and I expect the same behavior from our housemates.
• Preferably, is geeky and somewhat social. If you prefer to keep to yourself or aren't into what we're into, that's totally fine. But I welcome those who indulge in my hobbies and would enjoy our occasional get-togethers.

So, that's the apartment. If this sounds like your cup of tea, please feel free to reply to me here or ask me for an e-mail address at which to contact us. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you!
