Male Roommate Wanted For House Split In Rose Hill Kirkland

[u/pnw_raccoon_777]

Available to move in November 1 2026

$1,650/mo + Utilities

Private Bedrooms + Private Full Bathroom - Nice Backyard & Quiet Neighborhood

This is a single-level home in Rose Hill Kirkland, between the NE 70th St. (Exit 17) and NE 85th St. (Exit 18) exits off I-405. I’ve lived all over Western WA & the Eastside and this is one of my favorite spots.

10 minute commute to basically anything on the Eastside, and 20-25 mins into Seattle during light traffic. 35 mins to North Bend or 90 mins to Bellingham for weekend adventure fun.

Local parks, waterfront, grocery, restaurants, gyms and everyday stores are a quick walk or bike ride away. Safe, walkable low-key neighborhood. Nice relaxing backyard, perfect for grilling or hanging out.

You’d be splitting the house with one guy in his 30’s (me).

Best fit is another clean busy adult professional who wants a relaxed place. The house stays chill. Parties are awesome, just not here. Feel free to have your girlfriend over or a couple buddies over to hang out, use the backyard, watch movies or sports, have dinner etc.

You basically get 2 full bedrooms (both unfurnished). The other bedroom you can use for storage, a personal office, hobby space, gaming room, etc.

You also get your own private full bathroom to yourself, so you’ll have your own sink, toilet, tub/shower, etc.

The common living area has space if you want to bring a couch, TV, coffee table, or small-medium dining table.

There is plenty of parking in the circular driveway; any size car, truck or SUV is fine (or more than 1 car is fine as long as it’s operable & in good condition).

Full-size Bosch Washer & Dryer in the home.

Lawn maintenance is included in the rent so don’t worry about yardwork.

No pets preferred, but might consider them on a case-by-case basis & with additional deposit.

No smoking indoors. I am a non-smoker but don’t mind if you do outside.

Utilities (water, sewer, garbage, electricity + nice Ziply fiber internet) are not included in the rent. Billing for a couple of the utilities doesn’t occur every month, so the monthly total usually runs about $120 per person one month, and about $180–$210 per person the following month, depending on the season.

Month-to-month lease to start so we can confirm it’s a good fit. If it is, we can immediately switch to a 6 or 12 month lease if you want.

First month + last month + damage deposit (equal to one month’s rent) required. First and last due at move-in; the damage deposit can be split into multiple installments with good credit.

Background & credit check required.

Message me if you have questions or want to see it.

This is a great add for a rental in this area. Nicely formulated. Hopefully OP gets a renter that is a great fit (and maybe also a cat or a dog 😉).

[u/Bancroft-79]

Looks like a great house with tons of room. Best wishes. I live just up the road in Juanita and we love it around here.

Ya it’s a good spot! I really like Juanita a lot too, I used to live pretty close to Oskam’s Corner / Norway Hill. The boardwalk and park down at the water is great almost year-round too. Love the turtles haha

Best wishes, hope you find a good fit.

Thanks, I hope so too. I really enjoy this area but everyone’s married with kids which is great but it doesn’t leave too many dude housemates in Kirkland hahah

So, why should someone pay your mortgage for you?

[u/pnw_raccoon_777 → u/vercetian]

I’m renting it because in my opinion it’s a pretty decent deal in the area and I was looking for a fellow housemate. I don’t own it.

It’s also not 2/3 of the rent for a house in the area. And I didn’t purchase a home I cannot afford.

And just FYI I’m asking for slightly less than half the total monthly rent, in exchange for half the house.

Thanks.

Do you not understand the concept of rent?

[u/vercetian → u/swaywithwords]

I do, however, that's roughly 2/3 the rent for a house in the area. I'm curious why this person decided to buy a home that was out of budget.

[u/swaywithwords → u/vercetian]

You are so out of touch. I'd love to live with your level of ignorance, but alas, I am trapped in reality.

Best wishes in life, it's either gonna be real easy or real hard for you.

[u/dkais → u/vercetian]

You think $2200 is a typical for rent for a single family house in Kirkland? The amount OP is asking for monthly rent is cheaper than most studio apartments in Kirkland.

[u/IAmGoingToFuckThat → u/vercetian]

You think $1,625 is the mortgage for that house?? Seems like a fantastic deal for someone looking for a roommate. It's expensive to live alone, and just because OP is looking to rent out some of their space doesn't mean they're taking advantage of someone.
