I'm renting a 2B2B in downtown Menlo Park at Stanford-owned Middle Plaza Apartments and looking for a roommate to take over Bedroom 2. I've lived here a year and it's the best apartment I've had in the Bay Area. Stanford offsets the rent, so it's actually 80% of the market rate for an equivalent apartment in the same area. The apartment complex is only four years old, beautifully built with high-quality construction, and has tons of amenities — a courtyard with a pool and hot tub, free trash valet service, AC, and more. Management is helpful and reliable. It's an 8–10 min bike ride to Stanford Medical School, so great for people working in or near the medical campus.

Key facts:
Looking for: 1 male roommate (I'm also male)
Available room: Bedroom 2 (see schematic)
Move in date = June 15 (slightly later also works)
Monthly cost = 2250 rent + ~150-200 utilities = ~2450 total
Length of lease: 12 months

About me: I'm a Stanford postdoc (male) working in AI and neuroscience. I love to cook, read all kinds of books, and stay active with pickleball, gym and jogging. Generally I'm quiet, clean, and respectful. I keep common areas tidy and clean up my dishes as soon as I'm done with them, and I'm looking for a roommate with similar habits. That said, I'm also easygoing and open to hanging out with my roommates sometimes!
