Looking to make a move to West Seattle after 30+ years in Ballard

[DaveR]

Hello West Seattle! After much consideration, I have decided it’s time for a change of neighborhoods. The West Seattle bridge back and functioning makes this an easier decision. I am not in a rush, Sept/Oct move-in would work great.

Seattle native, I have lived in the Ballard/Crownhill neighborhood for the past 30+ years. I have owned 2 different homes and for the last 10 years I have been a renter, I am very responsible and respectful of others’ property.

I am also a local small business owner for over 24 years, very responsible, a good communicator, solid credit score, and am very financially responsible. I am a senior (young 65) and a nonsmoker of anything, nothing more than a beer on occasion but rare to be honest.

What I am hoping to find is a rental close to the North Admiral neighborhood so I can live a bit closer to my wonderful best friend and girlfriend of 9 years.

I have never lived in an apartment and really would prefer to find a detached ADU/MIL or affordable small home.
One bedroom is fine, the use of some garage space would be really appreciated. I am open of course to a townhouse or condo if it is somewhat peaceful.

Here are my hopeful top tens
*$2000 ish or less base rent
*Clean, easy-access home, secure space
*enough room in the house for a Peloton exercise bicycle
*spot for outdoor grill
*big enough bedroom for King size bed
*some garage space
*washer/dryer/dishwasher in the house
*Close to 800+ sq feet
*Some fenced yard space, willing to maintain
*Ability to have my senior part-time dog (under 20lbs) sleep over once or twice a week. Sometimes I may need to dog sit for up to 2 weeks at a time.
*good water pressure
*off street parking for mid-sized SUV

My no list would be
*no shared space
*no big party neighbors
*not on busy main streets

Please let me know if you have or know of a great new home for me. I look forward to joining the West Seattle community
