About your new house-mates and social living:
First... because in a shared house... you get family-like, fun roommates, a built in social and support network. Plus, you get soooo much! No need to buy dishes, living room furniture, a grill, or hammock, all the indoor and outdoor things you could want are provided for you! That's thousands of dollars you don't have to spend! You get tons more indoor and outdoor space! And more importantly... you get a fun social atmosphere... with a couple of chill new friends!

To live here, you've gotta be up for:
Sharing a glass of wine beer or Mikes, grilling together on the bbq, movie nights, or a craft nite with roommates. Planning and chipping in for taco nights. Also fun bonfires, or roommate outings together... You're not one to miss out - you're the type that participates. You'll come to the kitchen n hang after work. You'll help set up the bbq. You're the first at the table on game nights. You love hanging with roommates and being like friends and family. You're comfortable socializing with all ages. You like intelligent conversations. You'll be around for nights and weekends fun.
This is a community, not just a room. We have a participation requirement.
