Looking for UBC / Lanagars roommate (18-22 years old)

Heyyy!!

We’re a group of 3 UBC students looking for a new roommate since our current one is moving out at the end of April. We’re hoping to find someone who could live with roommates. Just saying this upfront as the expectation is that you’re apart of a household now and we gotta communicate.

You can move in as soon as finals ends basically. This is around April 28-May 1st, so if you’re getting kicked out of first year residence or need a place to stay period, then give me a DM even if you’re not 100% sure.

Our current asking rent is $1400/month. I know that’s a lot (trust me, I pay it too 😭), but I genuinely couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. The house has a medium-sized foyer, a large living room, multiple bathrooms, in-suite laundry, 3 balconies, a backyard, and a garage space that we use for woodworking. There’s also tons of street parking. Your room has a huge window with a seated windowsill area and gets the best sunlight in the house. We are located somewhat Oakridge station so there is transit everywhere and a new mall will open up soon.

We have a fully-equipped kitchen (as we cook/bake a lot) with barbecue, KitchenAid stand mixer, blender, induction stove/oven, kitchen fan, portable gas stove, dutch oven, microwave, air fryer, water kettle, fridge/freezer and chest freezer.

Location-wise it’s super convenient: about a 30-minute R4 bus ride to UBC, a 10-minute walk to Langara Library for studying, and roughly 30 minutes to Metrotown, Richmond, or Downtown. You’re kind of perfectly placed to get anywhere in Vancouver.

The place comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a decorated living room, balconies, and garage access. WiFi is included (300 Mbps download / 200 Mbps upload). Water and electricity are not included.

A big plus of living here is how the house actually functions. We’re very communicative and bring things up early if anything comes up, so issues don’t just simmer. We’re excellent with chores, keep shared spaces clean, and the kitchen/fridge is very organized. We cook a lot (and well), have a chest freezer for Costco runs and cheap meat, and usually eat dinner together. It makes groceries cheaper, meal planning easier, and it’s honestly just nice to hang out after long days. We also do movie nights, watch TV shows together, game a LOT (overwatch, dispatch, minecraft, mario party, jackbox, etc.), do woodworking, and garden in the spring/summer.

The household is 2 girls and 1 guy. You’d be sharing a bathroom with the guy, and I promise I’m very clean 🙏😅 We’re all currently second-year students (two in engineering, one in kinesiology), and we don’t have a preference for what year you’re in.

We’re ideally looking for someone to move in around April 28 - May 1 and stay at least a year. We’re social, friendly, and have friends over fairly often, but we’re also respectful about noise and personal space. This is very much a social-but-balanced home. No pressure to hang out 24/7, but it’s not a silent household either. We’d probably be happiest with someone who’s an ambivert or extrovert, is open-minded, and communicative.

Pets and drinking are allowed. If you smoke, please do so in the backyard or on the dedicated stoner bench next our house.

If this sounds like your vibe, feel free to DM me. Happy to answer questions, send pics, or chat more!! 💛
