Join our urban agriculture group in East Somerville/ Rooms for rent or entire apartment
After more than five years, Rob and Sam our brewer, apple grafting couple have bought their own place in Stoughton. We are looking for environmentally minded, low-impact individuals or family who would like to join us in our beautiful two family house between Union and Sullivan Squares in Somerville. We have a giant south-facing yard for you to garden, keep bees, raise chickens, and otherwise undertake a sustainable urban lifestyle.
Currently we have two rooms in a four bedroom apartment for rent with a third bedroom (and possibly the entire apartment) available June first. If you are interested in renting the entire apartment let me know. There are two small bedrooms for rent ($840 each) and two large bedrooms ($920). The entire apartment would rent for $3500. For common areas there are two bathrooms, a sizeable kitchen and living room, a breakfast nook, study/ guest rooms, and a sunny deck with beautiful views.
This apartment is part of a two-family house with a co-op feel between both apartments. You’ll share yard work and common-area responsibilities with all house residents and participate in regular potluck meetings and other group activities as desired.
This is a unique opportunity for those who:
- Enjoy being a renter but want to feel like an owner when it comes to growing and harvesting their own herbs, vegetables, flowers and other outdoor agricultural activities
- Want to be part of an environmentally aware and urban homesteader household
- Are looking to build community and cooperation with other house residents around yard work, healthy eating, and other shared interests and activities (such as hiking at the Middlesex Fells, canoeing and kayaking at the Mystic boathouse)
- Lead a low-impact lifestyle (clothesline use, bike/ped transportation, organic gardening, efforts to minimize waste)
The owner of the building is very active in the community and keeps bees and gardens in our shared garden space.
The first floor tenant leads litter walks in the neighborhood, shares fermentation cultures, and organizes cooperative buying of organic bulk foods. They are also willing to share CSA memberships, weekly Crescent Ridge Dairy delivery, and weekly compost pick-up/delivery service.
Other things to note:
The garden has six raised garden with clean trucked in soil. We have a raspberry and blackberry patch along with a stand of dwarf apple trees.
There’s a garden shed/ greenhouse for starting seeds early in the spring.
The unit has a washer dryer hook-up.
In unit w/d hook up… clothesline/ racks
Non smoking building and grounds
Lots of free bike parking
Car parking is available at $25/ month/ City permits are available for $40 a year and on-street parking is generally really easy.
