Room available immediately in a relaxed, student-friendly shared house in the University Terrace neighborhood on Santa Cruz's Upper Westside, conveniently located near UCSC and public transportation. The house features a large backyard and shared kitchen with a gas stove. The room includes its own private half bathroom (toilet and sink), while a separate full bathroom with a shower is shared with other housemates. The room also includes a closet. The house is generally occupied by students, making it a great fit for UCSC students looking for a comfortable and convenient place to live. The atmosphere is pretty laid-back, and smoking is permitted in the backyard (no indoor smoking). To accommodate UCSC's quarter system, flexible 3-month leases are available, with longer leases also an option. Rent is $1,400/month, utilities are approximately $100/month (PG&E, with occasional minor fluctuations), and the security deposit is only $500! To help keep deposit low, renters insurance is required to provide coverage for certain accidental damages. Policies can cost as little as $7-$15/month. The room is available immediately, and rent will be prorated for mid-month move-ins to make settling into Calvin Place easier. Street permit parking is $30 for a year pass. If interested, please TEXT James at 8three1- four19 7385 with a little about yourself to schedule a viewing. Looking forward to hearing from you!
