2 bedrooms available in a 4b/2b in Elmwood/Rockridge

We have 2 large rooms available for rent in a 4 bed/2 bath house at the Berkeley/Oakland border near Elmwood. Move in costs are first month's rent (see below) and $2870 security deposit. We are looking for grad students/professional students/postdocs... to stay through the lease term (ends 7/31/26), with option to renew!

The rooms:

Room 1 (room with fireplace) — ~250sqft, $1610/month — available now
- Giant room with east/south/west facing windows
- Previous tenant left partial furnishing (dresser/armoire/bed frame with storage) which can be removed

Room 2 (other bedroom) — ~200sqft, $1510/month — available 8/1/25
- Large room with big south facing windows
- Spacious closet
- Will be unfurnished (depending on tenant in room 1, might be able to move some of that furniture)

About the house:
- Top floor of a house — no upstairs neighbors and on quiet street
- Great location — 30 minute walk/10 minute bike to UC Berkeley campus, ~5 minute walk to 51B/6/7 bus lines direct to campus. ~15 min walk to either Ashby or Rockridge BART. - - Near shops and restaurants on College Ave and all main grocery stores (Berkeley Bowl, Trader Joe’s, Safeway, Whole Foods)
- Common areas are all furnished
- Kitchen with updated appliances including dishwasher
- In-unit laundry
- Large yard and back deck — great for entertaining
- Parking spot/street parking easily accessible
- Utilities usually hover around ~$80-150/person depending on season, plus WiFi
- Bathrooms will be shared with female-identifying roommates.
- Unfortunately, no pets allowed per the lease, though there are many friendly neighborhood cats who like pets!

About us

We are two female-identifying biology postdocs, one at UC Berkeley and the other at UCSF. We keep a quiet home, are laid back and sociable, and enjoy watching the newest HBO series or doing other social activities around the Bay. We are looking for other friendly graduate/professional students or postdocs to join us for the year. The house is excellent in terms of amenities and location — the longest tenant has been here 4 years and it's been by far the nicest place they've lived in the East Bay.

If you're interested, please reach out telling us a little about yourself and your preferred move in date.
