Kensington Housemates & Roommates
Darcy
Looking in: Seddon, Kensington, Footscray
JAN 20th - TEAM UP / ROOM - FOOTSCRAY Looking for a sweet sharehouse or some quality, sociable housemates for a new lease (the people are more important than the house!). I'm a musician, heavy reader and board-games nerd (among many other things), and (almost) always up for doing active stuff or being out and about. I'm an engineer, working full-time in Geelong (for now), so as close as possible to Footscray station for the V/Line would be handy. I've got a car that I will happily chauffeur around, a brand new washing machine, some misc furniture, and I'm up for shared meals and the like. Move out date is 20 Jan, so I'd want to get cracking on the searching pretty soon. Pets are fine by me, but no smokers please.
Briana
Looking in: Coburg, Princes Hill, Parkville, North Melbourne, Melbourne, Kensington, Fitzroy North, Fitzroy, East Melbourne, Collingwood, Carlton North, Carlton, Brunswick West, Brunswick East, Brunswick
I am currently studying a Masters degree at the University of Melbourne. Ideally, I would like to find somewhere within walking/cycling distance to uni, but if not, proximity to public transport will be important. My current lease ends in mid-January, and my actual move date can be flexible around that period of time. I am a fairly quiet person who takes my study seriously, but I would love to find a home where my housemates can also be my friends. I enjoy cooking and trying new plant-based recipes, and am always in need of a taste tester and someone to share my creations with. I am a responsible, tidy housemate, who has lived in sharehouses with a number of other people in the past. I do my best to be considerate to humans, animals and the planet, and would love to find people who share similar values.

Rom
Looking in: Thornbury, South Melbourne, Kensington, Northcote, Fitzroy North, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Clifton Hill, Carlton, Abbotsford
Hi all! My name is Rom I’m 32 years old. I work full time with my audio business, generally in the office Monday-Friday and the occasional weekend. I also get away from time to time for work or leisure. At home, and in life I’m respectful, easy going and tidy. When i'm not buried in my work I love pretty much anything music, arts or food(vegetarian) related along with trying to keep fit & healthy with yoga & cycling. Looking for a home with some other passionate and conscientious social beings. I'm busy doing the work/life balance too but would like to to think we'll find time to share the the occasional meal or dram together. I do come with some optional house accessories like kickarse blender, kitchen things and a bit of furniture if you/we need - otherwise it can make itself scarce. I’m looking to rent with people long-term that are like-minded and are easy to get along with.

Gareth
Looking in: Brunswick West, Ascot Vale, North Melbourne, Moonee Ponds, Kensington, Flemington, Fitzroy North, Essendon, Carlton North, Brunswick East, Brunswick
Originally from the UK and have spent the last 3 years living and working in Austria. I've moved to Melbourne on a 4 year sponsored visa and will be working out of the Australian subsidary of our global company as a Project Manager. I'm pretty 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; officially a pubs-over-clubs kinda guy (these days!) and always keen to improve my cooking skills (obligatory glass of wine/cold beer during preparation!) 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!
Sioned
Looking in: Saint Kilda, Richmond, Flemington, Kensington, Footscray
Hey! My name is Sioned and I am currently studying my bachelors degree at RMIT City Campus and taking up a diploma in French next year. I work 30 hours a week at a resort and in the little down time I get, I am all about exercising, nutrition, good food and family and friends. I am a super hard worker, I'm organised, tidy and looking to move to Melbourne in March next year when I return from my holidays abroad (the 2 hour commute is starting to be a killer). Ideally, looking for a two room apartment to share with someone with similar interests in the Footscray or Kensington area. I know it's early days, but let me know if you're interested in teaming up and finding a place :)
Maysen
Looking in: West Melbourne, North Melbourne, Kensington, Footscray, Brunswick West, Brunswick
Hi! I'm a fresh uni graduate from Perth who's taken a dive into the deep end by accepting a job here in Melbourne! My field is Chemical Engineering and I'll be commencing that 9-5 grind at the start of January. My stay is only short term (about 9 months) before the company moves me onto the next phase of my program. I enjoy socialising and making new friends, as well as travelling and keeping active! I'm a massive sports fanatic with AFL, UFC and F1 being my favourite sports to watch. I also enjoy placing social sports such as netball and am looking to continue my passion for football by finding a local club to play for when I relocate. I'm a tidy person who enjoys spending time with housemates, yet values a little bit of 'me time' every now and again :))
Tuesdaii
Looking in: Pascoe Vale, Parkville, Moonee Ponds, Kensington, Flemington, Fitzroy, Coburg, Brunswick West, Brunswick East, Brunswick
Hey! My name is Tuesdaii. I'm an Adelaide girl moving to Melbourne early next year to study Shoemaking at RMIT in Brunswick. I love yoga, coffee, plants, food & cooking, good conversation and real people. I am in search of a place to call home for the next year or so while I complete my course and work part time - I've lived in share houses for a few years now and would love to find a place that is both relaxed and considerate. I like to think I am a pretty chilled, open and down to earth person. I do my fair share around the house and am always enthusiastic about making houses feel more like home. I am known to come home with a bunch of new plants and to accidentally bake/make excess food to share! I am keen to find some likeminded people to share a home with. Please let me know if you have any questions! Ideally I would love to have a room to come to when I move over at the end of January and would be happy to make a trip to come and see the house and meet the people if it seems like it could be a fit :)
Jessica
Looking in: Maribyrnong, Kensington, Brunswick, Ascot Vale
Easy going person with a busy social and work lifestyle. In hospitality so long days and shift work is the norm. Not home all the time but love a glass of red and a chinwag when I am! Looking for similar personality that is keen to bring the social aspect as well.
Tia
Looking in: Carlton, North Melbourne, Kensington, Flemington
Hello my name is Tia! I'm 20 years old and have just returned from 8 months of backpacking overseas. I'm moving to Melbourne from the mid north coast NSW. I begin my Diploma of Graphic Design at Footscray Uni in Feb 2019. I am essentially looking to find a new home with chilled out, fun housemates, hopefully to then feel that I'm living with friends rather than board-mates. I've lived in a number of share houses before, I'm very tidy and financially reliable, wont have a disruptive schedule and understand peoples privacy. Give me a buzz if I could be a potential new housemate!
Nicole
Looking in: West Melbourne, Parkville, North Melbourne, Kensington
Hi potential roomies =) I'm Nicole. I'm 32 and work FT in Parkville. I'm originally from the country but have been living in Melbourne for 7 years. I love to travel and try to get overseas once a year at least! I love dogs and am hoping to get one at some point or live with someone that has one =) I'm clean and great at paying bills on time - I love to binge on tv series but also like to get out and about. I'm looking to live with either one or two others. Male or female, I don't mind. Somewhere walking distance to work =) My move in date is flexible - I just have to give my current roomies one months notice.
Veronica
Looking in: Southbank, Saint Kilda East, Saint Kilda, Kensington, Fitzroy, Carlton
My name is Veronica Lee. I'm studying Diploma in Accounting and looking for a place to stay in Melbourne (as close to the CBD as possible). I used to work as an accountant in Brazil and looking for a job in my field here. I consider myself as a team-player person who is always willing to help, especially when it comes to cleaning! One thing that I consider of great importance is mutual respect of others space!
Rish
Looking in: Melbourne, Princes Hill, Parkville, Kensington, Flemington, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Carlton North, Carlton, Brunswick
I’m a student from the Netherlands, currently living in Brisbane where I’m undertaking an internship in Medical Research but will soon be moving to Melbourne to undertake a full time graduation internship for 4 to 5 months at The University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus. I am an organised, clean and friendly person who’s into nature, photography, science and meeting new nice people! I will mostly not be at home during daytime but during the evenings and weekends I’m more than happy to have a chat/dinner/party :) Looking for flatmates (preferably in their 20s) who are also clean and social with respect to full time working schedule
Monica
Looking in: North Melbourne, Kensington, Flemington, Carlton
Hiya! I'm moving from Adelaide to work at Western Health in January, around the 15-25th. I'm a happy, lively person to have around and I'm always up for a chat after work. My hours will change throughout the year, but generally, I'll be working Monday-Friday with a couple of weekends thrown in. I love to have dinner and wine with my friends (and hopefully flatmates!) but I'm not a huge party animal. Not going to lie, I like to leave my morning coffee mug unwashed in the sink, but otherwise, I'm a tidy lady. I like to read, go for walks, learn Italian and most importantly - cook a mean lasagne.
Ramez
Looking in: Southbank, Melbourne, Kensington, Flemington, Docklands
I am moving from Newcastle, NSW to work as a full time pharmacist/ business consultant 6 days per week. I am a non smoker, however, if someone smokes outside the house, I'm fine with that. I do enjoy quiet nights as well as going to the gym and playing table tennis on a professional level . I am friendly like to chat and/or hang out as well as respecting everyone's privacy and time. I am an easy going person and looking for like minded flatmates to enjoy the time we stay home. I am looking for neat, tidy and quiet shared accommodation in a nice neighbourhood, and close to CBD or on train line for an easy commute to work.
Adrian
Looking in: South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, Kensington, Windsor, South Yarra, Saint Kilda East, Prahran, Fitzroy, Carlton, Brunswick East
I am a super attentive and considerate person. I like things kept nice and tidy and love a balance between quiet nights in during the week and heading out with friends on the weekend. I am a single gay male who would ideally be looking to share with other gays or anyone who is genuine and down to earth really. I’m very social but also love down/alone time.
Madi
Looking in: North Melbourne, Windsor, Balaclava, Armadale, South Yarra, Southbank, Saint Kilda, Richmond, Port Melbourne, Kensington, Hawthorn, Footscray
I am an honest, quiet and respectful 22 year old graduate who will be working full time in the Melbourne CBD whilst also completing my graduate diploma. I am looking for a place to stay from Monday-Friday and will probably travel home to see my family most weekends. I love to have a chat but definitely understand privacy and that everyone needs their own personal space. I am friendly, personable and possess a positive outlook- I would really love to meet a housemate with the same values as me.
Dee
Looking in: South Melbourne, Southbank, North Melbourne, Kensington, Flemington
Hi everyone! I'm a kind, friendly, considerate, and respectful person. You'll never have to worry about me paying bills on time as they are my priority. Love animals so if you have pets, I'm happy either way. If I'm at work, I'll be at the gym, or volunteering putting band aids on the community. And if I'm not doing that, I'll be reading a good book and drinking coffee or chatting to you! I work in the justice sector so the place I live in needs to be drug free, otherwise that could be a bit awkward for the both of us. For the last 3 months, I've been living in a private hostel style home. I've learned to be very considerate of others, and appreciate diversity and cultural differences. I'll always make sure I'm super quiet if any of my flatmates are sleeping. I respect the need for solitude and privacy to recharge your mana (self/soul), and hope for the same in return. If you want to go for a yoga class and a coffee walk with me, I'll be down for that too! Send me a message if I sound like the right fit for your flat. 🙂

I just moved from Brisbane to Melbourne to start a new job in the city. I’m a tidy, polite and respectful person to live with. I’m always up for a chat but also enjoy my personal space and am conscious of the fact that others do too. I like watching sport, keeping fit and getting out and about and exploring.
