We are two roommates, male and female, ages 24 and 25 looking for a roommate around the same age. We are currently renting a three bedroom house on the southside of Corpus Christi. We’re near gas stations, an HEB and a Walmart, but who isn’t if you live in Corpus? I have two bedrooms available but only looking for one room to be filled. There are two bedrooms to choose from. The first one is smaller and carpeted, it faces the front yard and is the only bedroom with a cable tv connection (we have direct tv with DVR). The second bedroom is in the back of the house and has a separate entrance. It has linoleum flooring and is the bigger of the two rooms. There is no cable box in this room. The other downfall of this room is that I have two dogs, and when I take them out, they have to go out through that room into the backyard.
If you are afraid of dogs, this is not the house for you. I have a great dane and a collie, I also have a parrot, and two fish tanks. The fish tanks are small. The dogs and bird are not. I can not have any other pets. My great dane is a destroyer of small animals and I am also at the limit of pets that we are allowed to have in the house. A fish tank/reptile terrarium is ok. Please no illegal snakes though. We have a big backyard with a deck and a gazebo, both need to be fixed up and I hope to do this during the winter when it’s cooler out.
We live in a good neighborhood, our neighbor likes to play Tejano music, but it’s never disturbingly loud.
We are quiet people. I don’t drink, and my roomie only does on occasion, but he does not get drunk. No one smokes, and if you do smoke, as per the contract, it must be done outside the house. We are 420 tolerant, neither of us smoke, I’m joining the military and he just doesn’t. We don’t mind if you do, please keep it in your room though.
As for rent, I’m going to say $400 a month with all bills included. It will always, always be less than this, but I just want to be safe. Usually it ends up being between $340 and $350 a month. We have direct tv, central air/heat, wall to wall carpeting in every room but bathroom, kitchen/dining room, and the back room. The carpeting is beige. This is obviously so my dogs could run in with muddy paws and ruin it so we don’t get the deposit back. I plan on changing it once we have the money to do so. There is also a washer/dryer hook up in the house, but we haven’t been able to afford any of these luxuries. We have a dishwasher, and plenty of cabinet space for plenty of stuff.
We do ask that you buy your own groceries or, if you are going to eat ours, please help pay for them. Our other rule is please do not walk around naked when the rest of us our home. This has happened before. We would prefer a student or military, as long as you are awesome and relatively quiet. If you have friends, that’s cool cause we totally don’t and need to make some new ones. We just moved down here. We’d prefer if you did not have children, being that this is Corpus Christi, I know this is hard to do, but I do not trust my dogs around small humans, and I’d just rather they not be in my house. If you are a neat freak, this might not be the place for you. I’m a little cluttered, but not skeezy.
I keep fish for a living. My house is covered in fish stuff. Fish tanks, fish paintings, fish posters, etc. It is probably overwhelming for a normal person, so if it weirds you out let me know. Please send me an email if this seems like the house for you!
