About the room

We are offering a bright, spacious 14’ x 14’ top-floor room in our 4-bedroom, 1905 Kitsilano Heritage House for Aug 1, 2026 (minimum one year stay).

Our home has 3 floors, 2 shared bathrooms, a full basement, and spare garden plots if growing vegetables/flowers is your thing. We are also close to transit, shops, and Kits Beach! The rent includes utilities/internet, washer/dryer, trampoline, and basement storage.

We are three adults living at “The Enclave - an Urban Sanctuary”, an inclusive co-living space for those who value health, wellness, creativity, and conscious living. Previous experience in cooperative or shared living is an asset. We’re seeking a mature, clean, responsible non-smoker who is environmentally conscious. We enjoy creating a peaceful, respectful home where people can recharge, pursue meaningful work, and occasionally share conversation, meals, or time in the garden.

To apply, contact Lyle. When you reach out, please tell us about yourself, your lifestyle, and what draws you to community living?

Feel free to include links to any social media or personal website if you’d like us to get a better sense of who you are.

We appreciate thoughtful replies and will respond to applicants who seem like a good fit for our home.

Note: we are unable to have pets here. Driveway parking may be available.

About the roomies

We are 3, one a geologist, one a care worker, and myself, an international musician and endurance athlete. We have many years of combined shared living between the 3 of us. We have occasional meals together, and make house decisions together at monthly house meetings. Co-living sometimes sees a dynamic around chores not getting done - not an issue here - the house is clean. We’re health focussed, some of us garden, we have friends over, with the occasional party. I think we strike a good balance between sociability and privacy.
