About the Community
Athenaeum is an intellectually curious, friendly, caring, and consensus-driven community, founded in 2015.
As individuals, our values vary, but we all have a desire for community - we take active steps to bring people together and foster connections.
We enjoy sharing dinner most nights.
We have bi-weekly house meetings.
Costs, utilities, and groceries are shared.
We buy some bulk foods and keep the kitchen stocked.
We host ‘Friday Night Dinners’ for friends twice a month, occasional lectures, cookouts, holiday dinners, and hikes.
The Roommates
We are a group of 6 or 7 adults (including our next housemate), in our late 20s - early 40s who come from a variety of backgrounds but love sharing, talking, and eating food together.
We are open-minded and welcoming of varying identities.
There’s often something fresh-baked in the kitchen, a hike happening on the weekends, book reading on the couch, and dancing just because.
We also have our own lives; alone time is understood and respected.
S: she/her, queer/trans white scientist & artist.

Location
We live in a large house near Crystal Springs Reservoir with trails, on a quiet, peaceful street with an expansive, tree-lined, private backyard, modern kitchen, sauna, jacuzzi, swimming pool, and art workshop.
We’re halfway between San Francisco and Palo Alto for an easy commute and access to the city- a 23 minute drive to Stanford University and a 25 minute drive to the Mission.
Conveniently close to 280 and under 10 minutes to groceries.
We’re 3 miles from the Millbrae Caltrain station.
The house is on top of the hill, with views of the bay.
It’s bikeable if you’re ambitious or have an e-bike.
Next steps?
Please email us, if this sounds interesting, and we'll send you an application! We’ll get back to you soon to set up an interview.
