Hi. My name is Nicole. Me and two other women are looking for a fourth female roommate to rent out of a house in the Arlington area closer to DC area, but not in DC. The house that we have our eyes on is a house in Arlington and it’s near the metro (five minutes walking distance). We need one more lady to live with. Text me, or email me if you’re interested.

A little about me: I am a very passionate Christian. I work as a journalist for The Christian Post Newspaper, which is a news publication that reports the news nationally and internationally using a biblical worldview. It is a very rewarding job and I view it as a ministry.

I am also earning my master’s degree in seminary school at Regent University in their fully online practical theology master’s program. Although Christian journalism is my full time job and passion, I am an aspiring part time young adult pastor.

I am in my mid-twenties (26). I am very neat and I love to clean. I have no pets but, I’m not opposed to living with them. I enjoy going to church, Bible study, and singing worship. I sang lead worship for nearly four years at my church when I lived in New York. I love to read and write, go for brunches, exercise, and go for bike rides. I love to encourage other people and I love to watch movies; romantic comedies are my go to. Text me if you’re interested in being our roommate.

2 Furnished Bedrooms in Alexandria

Posted April 11, 2023

Hello All! My wife, Genevieve, and I have two fully-furnished, sunny, and large bedrooms available for rent in our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Alexandria, VA. Our house is just 2 blocks from the Huntington Metro station, and is only an 8-minute drive from the Basilica of Saint Mary in Old Town Alexandria! Bedroom 1 is $1095/month and will be available in November 2023. Bedroom 2 is $945/month and will be available in June 2024. Utilities and internet are included in the rent! Click here to view photos.

The huge size of the bedrooms, combined with the obscenely fast gigabit internet connection make our house an excellent place to work or study from home. Both bedrooms are upstairs and share a large, full bathroom. We will happily fully furnish both bedrooms, and we will provide a mattress, bedframe, desk, chair, and decorations free of charge. If you would like to bring your own furnishings, that is fine too. While the property is now redecorated (and way cuter!), pictures can be seen at our Zillow link, which we will send you if you reach out 🙂

Our neighbors have been unbelievably welcoming, and the whole neighborhood really seems to look out for each other. Not to mention, the Catholic Young Adult community at the Basilica is crazy active!! After the 10AM Sunday Mass, over 50 of us gather at a house across the street for coffee, snacks, and community 🙂 Genevieve and I were blown away by the welcoming and friendly nature of the community at the Basilica, and we cannot wait to get more involved with their frequent Holy Happy Hours (which are as awesome as they sound).

Genevieve and I both graduated from Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!!) with degrees in Aerospace Engineering in 2022. We would love to build up a fun community of young people who can attend Mass together and support each other. We take lots of vanlife trips, and we are huge National Parks people who love to hike, bike, and travel. Also, we love to cook, bake, and share 🙂
