Roommates to Lease a House with – Hyattsville, MD

Current CUA PhD student, getting married in September, looking for roommates, preferably another Catholic couple but flexibly, to rent a house with in the Hyattsville area. From my research, there are several houses for rent in the St. Jerome area if split up by room, come up to less than $1000 or slightly above $1000 a month for rent. I hope this can be a less expensive compromise to living with a family that charges $1500 Plus a month for less space. If I find people willing to do this, we will have a whole house near St. Jerome’s with privacy for each person. Ideally looking for August as a move in date for am again flexible. If you are interested, please contact me at the following so that we can discuss details and concerns. God Bless, All!

Male Tenant – Hyattsville, MD

Come live in our basement for the summer! We’re a couple in our late thirties, both of whom graduated from the Institute’s MTS (where we met!), and the male half of whom graduated from the Ph.D in 2018. We have five kids (9, 7, 4, 2, and seven months). Our home is in Hyattsville, just three miles from the Institute, in a lovely neighborhood right across the street from the vibrant St. Jerome’s parish.

The basement is finished and furnished, and it has a separate entrance. It boasts two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom; a kitchen; and a dining room/common area. There’s also a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer, which we would share. One of the bedrooms is already occupied (by a PhD candidate at the Institute), but the other room (and attendant bathroom) will be vacant for the summer. The exact timing is somewhat flexible, but it will be available from sometime in May until sometime in August. Our current tenant is male, so you, his potential basement-mate, will need to be male as well. The available bedroom is just over 200 sqft, plus a big walk-in closet. Rent is $875/month.

Please contact Mike at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like any more information!
