Room Available in the Palace of Joy @ Tierra Nueva CoHousing, Oceano, CA
Looking for a fabulous human to share a unique home in a vibrant, avocado-filled cohousing community!
The Home:
The Palace of Joy is a warm, welcoming 4-bedroom, 2-bath home located in Tierra Nueva—a collaborative cohousing community nestled in an avocado orchard. The plan is to share the home with three awesome humans (including you!) and one sweet dog named Lucky.
The Room:
- Private bedroom (upstairs, south-facing)
- Approx. 20′ x 12′ with cork flooring, multiple windows, and a large closet
- Unfurnished, but if you act quickly, you may be able to purchase the existing furniture from my current roommate
- Shared bathroom with one other upstairs resident
- Access to an additional bathroom downstairs
Rent & Details:
- $1,200/month, includes gas, internet, electricity, water, and garbage
- Optional reserved carport for $100/month
- Month-to-month lease beginning June 1
- Security deposit: $500
- First and last month’s rent due at move-in
You’ll also enjoy shared access to:
- Kitchen, living room, and patio
- All Tierra Nueva common facilities, including:
- Common House with reservable guest rooms
- Community kitchen and dining room
- Library, media room, and art/yoga/dance studio
- Playground, veggie garden, and workshop
- Acres of green space and dozens of fruit trees (including avocados!)
About Us:
We’re friendly, down-to-earth folks who value community, cooperation, and good vibes. Lucky the dog is mellow and loves company, so pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please note:
- Yard is not fenced
- Doors are often open, so any pet must be well-socialized, chill, and able to stay close to home.
Ideal Roommate:
- Respectful, communicative, and easy to live with
- Enthusiastic about cohousing life
- Clean, responsible, and a good fit for shared living
- Introverts and extroverts welcome!
To Apply (No Fee!):
No formal application or fee required.
Instead, please email a little bit about yourself—who you are, why you’re interested in the room, and how you think you’d fit into this household and possibly the Tierra Nueva community.
If it sounds like a match, we’ll reach out to arrange a get-together.
We’re excited to meet the next joyful soul to join the Palace of Joy!
