Housemate Wanted: Free Rent in Exchange for Overnight Presence (Northampton, MA)
Are you someone who enjoys spending time at home? Would you value a beautiful, quiet shared living arrangement with a private room in Northampton?
I’m a mental health professional and writer living with panic disorder, seeking a grounded,... compassionate person to live with me in my spacious house. Due to my situation, I’m offering free rent in exchange for reliable overnight presence most nights. This isn’t about caretaking—it’s about having someone else in the house as a stabilizing presence.
Details: • Private room • Shared bath, kitchen, and living space • High-speed WiFi, laundry on site, lovely backyard, walking distance from town, one block from the bus route, and quick access to I-91 • Home includes dogs • Free rent; small utilities contribution negotiable • Ideal for someone with a flexible daytime schedule or focused creative work • LGBTQ+ friendly, neurodivergent-friendly, emotionally literate home • One parking space available in driveway and unlimited street parking
Looking for someone warm, kind, emotionally mature, and consistent—a nonsmoker with low substance use. Overnight presence means sleeping here at least 5–6 nights/week, but daytime hours are flexible. Other ways of contributing to the household (e.g., help with cleaning, gardening, etc.) to be discussed.
If this sounds like a fit, please contact me with some information about yourself.
