How much does it cost?
Pricing per room is listed above. Additional costs include monthly security deposit insurance (around $12 / mo) and renter’s insurance ($10-25 / mo).
Is there a security deposit?
No. Security deposit insurance is collected monthly (around $12 / mo) by a third party insurance broker (sayrhino.com) in lieu of a security deposit. An insurance policy is then held in your name for the amount equal to 1 month’s rent. Any damages to the property, unpaid rent, and/or late fees will be claimed via this insurance policy and you will be responsible for this amount to the third party insurance broker.
Is there a pet deposit?
No. Any damages to the property will be claimed against the security deposit insurance policy held in your name.
Is there a pet limit?
Realistically speaking, 2-3 dogs and 2 cats is probably as manageable as it could get. Anything other than that probably needs to live in a box (e.g. – aquarium).
Is there a lease agreement?
There is a master lease. You will sign a sublease agreement before move-in that details all your rights and responsibilities.
How do I pay rent?
You can pay rent to the master lease holder via PayPal.

What’s with the room names?
They’re named after mountains. 14ers in Colorado, to be more specific. 14ers in Colorado that I (the master lease holder) have summited, to be even more specific. The characteristics of the rooms somewhat resemble the characteristics of the 14ers they’re named after. The basement rooms are named after smaller rock formations as they’re underground. Ah-ha, get it? Whatever.
What are the roommates like?
Early 20’s to early 30’s, typically. Roughly even split between genders. Holding all types of jobs within varying industries. All talented, creative, active, friendly, and funny.
What is the environment like?
We try to treat the house as a family, with healthy communication and conflict resolution. We have a group chat that regularly is filled with memes. Most things in communal spaces are shared and private spaces are to be respected. We hang out and cook together and do things outside of the house together as well. We have thrown parties, gone to Red Rocks concerts, gone camping, hosted Thanksgiving at the house, chilled at the park, and all kinds of things together. 4 of us took a surfing trip to San Diego. We probably should have a TV show or at least a TikTok handle. See our gallery here.
What is the house like?
It’s over a century old, so it has hella character and its fair share of flaws. In the 3+ years I’ve lived here, I’ve personally completed countless improvements and witnessed updates and renovations. It can still use improvements here and there, but it’s miles ahead of where it was when I moved in.
What is the neighborhood like?
It’s par for the course for City Park West/Cap Hill. Every now and then, we get interesting characters around the neighborhood, however we have never encountered a situation that has caused distress or concern for our safety.
Is this a party house?
Yes and no. We’re all adults. We have adult jobs, lives, social circles, and hobbies. But we do like to get down from time-to-time. We average about 1 rager a year and have people over to “hang” roughly 3-5 times a month. I’m trying to make dinner parties a thing.
Is that a disco ball in the living/dining/kitchen room?
Yes.
Is this a frat house?
No, bro. We lean more towards a commune than a cult.
Do you have to be creative or artsy to live here?
No, but it definitely helps.
How often do you update the pictures?
Not very often, honestly. Most rooms are pictured empty to give you a better idea of the space. The gallery spans many years worth of pictures.
Is this a scam?
Seriously…? I made a whole website. This won’t last forever. Almost too good to be true. -_-
But wait, there’s more…
