Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Denise, 28, originally from Germany but have been living in the US the past 3 years. I’m moving to Melbourne mid-November to start my PhD in Sport Management at Swinburne, and I’m looking for a long-term room in a share house. I’d also be open to teaming up with someone else to find a place together!
What I’m looking for:
- Private room (furnished preferred, own bathroom ideal but not required). - Budget up to $330-350/week (max. $400, preferably incl. utilities).
Move-in: Mid-November 2025

Stay: Long-term (around 12 months, potentially longer if it’s a good fit)
Preferred areas: Richmond, Burnley, Hawthorn, Hawthorn East (ideally <20–25 mins to Swinburne/Richmond). Open to other suburbs within a 45-minute commute, especially closer to the coast, e.g. Port or South Yarra, etc.
About me:
* Active (running, walks, being outdoors in general) but also love a good day rotting on the couch
* Very clean and considerate in shared spaces, many years of experience living in share houses
* Social and more of an extrovert but also value my downtime to recharge
* Non-smoker, fine with dogs (mild cat allergy but manageable if not in my room)
Ideal house vibe: Fun, clean, respectful, with people who enjoy hanging out together occasionally (dinners, movies, nights out, etc.), while also respecting everyone’s personal space and study/ work times during the week.
Super excited find a place that feels like home. If you know of anything or want to team up to search together, please DM me! 🤗
