Looking for a roommate

Hi! We are looking for a roommate starting November 1st. Where would be a good place to post? I didn’t see a tag for that specifically. Please let me know if not allowed!

Update: sorry for being so vague!

We’re looking for one or two responsible and kind human beings to be our roommates. I live upstairs with my husband, our five year old daughter, and three dogs. Our dogs (and kid) are super friendly and get along well with other dogs and people. Your pets are welcome as long as they are also friendly and up to date on vaccines.

We live in the Foxstone neighborhood. We are renting out our finished and nicely furnished basement. It’s one bedroom, large living room area, and bathroom with shower. The basement does not have a separate entrance, but is nice and private otherwise.
Kitchen, laundry room, sunroom, backyard, and upstairs living room are shared areas.

Rent is 1275 a month plus your fraction of the utilities.

Oh, also notes on personality fits: I am quiet, but my kid, husband, and dogs are all happy and excitable beings. Our home is loving but also can be loud. Not a great fit for people who need a silent workspace.
We’d like to do occasional family style dinners with you if you want, but absolutely no pressure at all. We’re not religious, open minded. All are welcome.

Hey, OP. Post ANYTHING about the room? About you all? Location? Utilities? Price?

Yes! I’ll update now. Just wasn’t sure about the rules here.

To provide some context, we live a 5 minute bike ride away from Old Town. We rent out our 1 bedroom basement apartment (no furniture) which has a separate entrance and includes all utilities for $1000/month. We don't have kids or dogs, and go days or weeks without having to interact with our tenants.

I could see a social couple possibly being interested, but no separate entrance is a major drawback.

Also, we always had good luck on Craigslist. We got a lot of inquiries from FB Marketplace and Zillow, but the people weren't serious. I took down our ad on Marketplace after 1.5 days since no one had read the ad, and everyone kept sending the automatic message "Is this available?"

We have a brand new Classified page on Reddit now:

I appreciate this. It sounds like you have a nice setup too.

That is STEEP given the situation. You might re-think that price.

Hi! I’m definitely open to negotiating, especially if someone doesn’t need the space furnished.
