I relocated to Valley Ranch area January of this year and I am looking for furnished room to rent in Irving (Valley Ranch and/or Las Colinas), Coppell, Grapevine, Euless, North Arlington, North Grand Prairie area.

I am a 28yr old asian straight male professional. I am originally from Chicago, IL. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. I moved to southern California where I received my master's degree in Chemical Engineering. I currently work as a Biomedical Engineer for a medical diagnostics company in Las Colinas.

I am very clean, organized, and responsible. I do not throw loud parties or have people over all the time. I work 8-5, exercise, and attend church regularly.

I would love to meet you in person and discuss anything you may want to know about me. I am honest and down-to-earth so if I am a good candidate and your housing condition meets my needs, I am positive I will be a great tenant for you.

Here are my needs:

-Rent MUST include ALL utilities. I know how to save energy and I am very good at it. -Furnished room with a bed. Desk and/or TV stand would be a plus.
-Cable TV and internet connection in the room
-NO Pets
-Furnished kitchen
-Washer/Dryer
-Basic house privileges
I am looking to rent within the next month or two.

Thanks for looking. If you or anyone else is looking to rent out a room to a reponsible, clean, and neat person, please contact me at hslee45@gmail.com. I am looking forward to hear from you and meet you in person.

David

Look at this site: craigslist: dallas / fort worth classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events

I found a nice room for rent in Irving on there.

Thank you for kind suggestions but I have been looking on craigslist.

I thought I'd post an ad on this forum as well since a lot of people read this forum, both new to the area as well as people who have been living here.

I can be a great tenant. I see a lot of houses in my area and if you have an extra room to spare and can use some extra cash, I'm the perfect guy for it. I will help out around the house if needed and I will keep the house neat and clean as I like to be.

PM me and you won't be disappointed.

RE: the poll. For me, none of the options fit. A the end of a long day, I just like my privacy.

We're in a different area and are still looking for a new house, so we don't have a room to rent out, but I wanted to suggest maybe finding a roommate and renting an apt. I'm not sure what your budget is, but there are some nice and affordable apartments here in the DFW area. If you found a good roommate or two, you might be able to settle into a nice townhouse or even a smaller home.
I think families find it difficult to rent out a room with having kids running around and all. And as honu1 wrote, I think most people just want to have privacy in their home.
Also, have you asked around at church? Maybe you can find empty nesters with extra rooms or someone who travels a lot and would enjoy having a tenant/housesitter at home.

Good luck with your room search! Sorry I don't have any definite leads for you...

Also, check Easyroommate.com or roommates.com...That's how I found my place to stay when I moved a few years back...
