Coburg Housemates & Roommates
Jennie
Looking in: Thornbury, Preston, Northcote, Coburg, Brunswick
I'm easy going and like to spend time reading or studying, when I'm not doing either of these I walk my small dog and relax with Netflix. I'm quiet and respectful, looking to cook my own food and live in a clean, happy household (no party house).
Giuliana
Looking in: Coburg, Brunswick East, Brunswick, Alphington, Thornbury, Preston, Northcote, Fitzroy North, Fairfield
Hi, I'm Giuliana, looking for a longer-term place to call home in a sharehouse with another 2 or more people. About me: During the week I work 8.30-5, 4 days per week at a university library, and spend 2-3 nights a week at yoga. Aside from yoga, I love hiking, camping and nature connection, cooking (and eating!), motorbike riding, spending quality time with friends and family, veggie and herb gardening; so would love a place with a decent sized backyard with a veggie garden, or the space for one as well as for composting, all the better if there are housemates who'd like to share in this as I've still got a lot to learn! About what I’m seeking: There are all sorts of people I'd enjoy living with. I'm a thoughtful, open-minded, respectful, grounded, tidy, sustainability-focused person looking to share with other gentle, caring people with similar values; and amongst all of that sharing a healthy dose of humour is most welcome. I'm looking for a longer-term share house (which is why I’ve written so much!) so it's important to me to find a place with people where we can create a healthy household dynamic; which can only really come through clarity in communication. While this can be difficult at times and we’re all learning, it’s super important for me and the people I share with to be willing to try to communicate openly, gently and respectfully to the best of our abilities. I have a fulfilling social life, however I'd really like to live with others who are more than just people I live in the same house with; I'd like to share communal meals and chats regularly. However I also need alone time, and am respectful of other people’s need for that also. I'm currently used to preparing my own meals, but am very open and welcoming to communal living and food sharing. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but I rarely eat meat and I've happily lived with vegans and vegetarians before. About the house: In terms of the house itself, some things I’d really like (though not essential, unless there’s none of them) are: - Gas stove top (for cooking! Electric or induction are a bit limiting) - Undercover parking for my motorbike (I have a cover for it, but much easier to just park under something) - A backyard that gets some sunlight and has, or has space to grow herbs and veggies (even if it’s just concrete that you can put plant pots on) - An older house with character, with larger rooms and more natural light (I’m not a big fan of those townhouses going up all over the place) - I’m particularly interested in moving to Thornbury, Preston, Fairfield, Northcote, North Fitzroy (not necessarily in the order), but surrounding suburbs like Ivanhoe, Alphington, Brunswick and Coburg may also be suitable. I have a mish-mash of furniture including a fridge (oldish), and a washing machine (newish). I'm willing to shed what's not needed though as most of it I've collected along the way from family and friends. I have some lovely indoor plants which I'd love to share with my new housemates as some of them are little big for the bedroom! I don’t have a particular date I need to be out of my current place by, but I’d ideally like to have at least 3 weeks notice so my existing housemate has a chance to find a new sharer also. Would love to hear from you if you think I'd suit your share home.
Anna
Looking in: Southbank, Saint Kilda, Melbourne, Footscray, Fitzroy, Docklands, Coburg, Brunswick
Na. I like cats and my own space
Lulu
Looking in: North Melbourne, Northcote, Fitzroy, Coburg
My name is Lulu, I’m from Melbourne, I’m 20yrs old turning 21 very soon. I’m currently living in my 5th sharehouse over in east Keilor and I’m very keen to move closer to my full-time job in the city as a waitress/bartender. I’m a singer and photographer in my spare time, A big festival-goer as well and love to get my drink on every now and then. I’m a social butterfly but I also really love my own space as much as I love hanging out with my friends. I love making my space homely and comfy, and it means a lot to me to love where I live!
Telisha & Abraham
Looking in: Sunshine, Strathmore, North Melbourne, Northcote, Maribyrnong, Hoppers Crossing, Fawkner, Coburg, Camberwell, Broadmeadows, Box Hill, Altona, Richmond, Newport, Footscray, Flemington, Essendon
Hey guys! My partner and I are looking to move into a place as soon as possible. My partner currently already has a stable living arrangement but it’s more myself (Telisha) who needs to find a place. So if you’re only wanting to take one person, I’m your girl. If you’re wanting a couple, even better! It’s about finding the right place to live, we have taken our time with this but believe it is the right thing to do. I, Telisha, am a pretty chilled chick. Sometimes chatty but you may also find me hiding away in my room for personal time. I enjoy making art and I’m obsessed with listening to music and finding a good as horror movie! I am an asthmatic and I find my asthma getting worse in dirty houses. So cleanliness is a priority for me, however I’m not a clean freak. My best preferred price for just me by myself would be around the $200 mark give or take... depending on the place itself. If Abraham was to move in also you would appreciate the fact that he’s quite private. He mostly hangs out in our room or else he’s out of the house doing something else. However he’s not snobby hahaha he would definitely come out to chat and hang every now and then! Both Abraham and I are PT dependant so having either a train station or tram stop close by would be a priority for us both. We also both work in the city so we would prefer to live somewhere within a half hours travel to the city. For the both of us we will be happy to pay $300 max including bills. If you were only wanting to take me, obviously as I have a partner, he may want to stay over every now and then. But as I said above, he would never be in your hair. If you have any more questions feel free to shoot us a message! Cheers :)

Joshua & Megan
Looking in: Richmond, Parkville, North Melbourne, Fitzroy, Brunswick West, Brunswick East, Thornbury, Northcote, Hawthorn, Fitzroy North, Coburg, Carlton North, Carlton, Brunswick
Hello everyone! Megan (23) and I (26) have been living in Melbourne for just over a year and we're looking for a new place to call our humble abode. Both reigning from NZ, we tend to have a "chill" aura, are clean, and respect others privacy. Megan is currently working hospitality, teaching children how to dance and is a performer herself. I'm a student at the University of Melbourne, doing a PhD in the sciences. Understandably, this keeps us rather preoccupied! During our down time we fluctuate from being sociable (gigging, wining and general social-butterfly behaviours) to enjoying our quiet time (reading, netflix binges etc.). Ideally we're looking for flatmates that have a similar ethos, creative stride, and an open-mind. Give us a holla if you want to chat! Megan and Josh

Very laid back person, enjoy socialising and having a laugh, but also enjoy time by myself, very neat, tidy and clean. If you have a dog, I will soon be it’s new best friend. I’m relaxed, enjoy music and films and am respectful. Excuse the atrocious quality of my photo, it’s very much zoomed in..

Originally from the UK and have spent the last 3 years living and working in Austria. I'm heading to Melbourne on a 4 year sponsored visa to start work in the Australian subsidary of my current company as a Project Manager. I'm fairly well-travelled and will be coming from shared accomodation (5 people), so I understand how important it is to be a clean and respectful housemate! An outgoing person and like to stay active whether it be in the gym, playing sports or out on a hike, etc. I'm also keen on my music and would love to meet people to head to some gigs with; pubs-over-clubs kinda guy (these days!) and always keen to improve my cooking skills (obligatory glass of wine/cold beer during preparation, of course.) Weeknights are admittedly quite low-key between work and keeping active, but it would be great to meet sociable housemates keen to enjoy the occasional meal together etc. If you've any questions, please feel free to ask!

Youssef
Looking in: Thornbury, Preston, Northcote, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Coburg, Carlton, Brunswick
Hi People! I'm an Italian backpacker that happened to find himself in Melbourne. I love to chat with a cup of wine; chatting about travels, cultures, philosophy or just make jokes and have a laugh. I love music (I play guitar but don't ask me to sing) also I go to gigs. I love to play sports in general but soccer is my favorite. It's a bit strange to talk about my personality but I think I'm a quiet and curious guy, I'm not a party animal but I like spent time with people just talking, drinking or playing something. So what else.. I like eating well and of course, pasta and pizza is never a miss. I speak Italian, Spanish, Inglish and a bit of Arabic. I'm working full time as an electrical trade assistant and on weekend I like to go to parks or do something outside. I got a car so if you need a lift somewhere I'm happy to help. I'm looking for something until January when my visa will expire hopefully the border force doesn't kick me out before then :D
