Natural Oasis Near SDSU Room for Rent in Shared Household
Natural Oasis Near SDSU Room for Rent in Shared Household,
We are looking for a great new housemate here at the Enchanted Garden, an intentional-community household since 1978.
While this blog post is from 2016, the rents haven't changed since then!
This small, cute room is available for $520 monthly or can go down to $400 with garden-work credit.
It is usually a room we reserve for full-time students but if you're considerate and health-conscious you'll be a welcome addition to our household! (Sorry, no pets tho . . . )
The house is 81 years old now, and the videos in this blog post are wonderful. I think you'll enjoy them!
At the end of the blog post, Leslie Goldman shares the questions we ask of applicants. It's one of the best ways to start to get to know you.

The property features a koi pond, extensive Healing Arts library, some gardening space, plenty of peace and quiet, an outdoor massage/meditation area, and a magical atmosphere where nature has free reign.
It is the perfect setting for dreams to grow in. Aromatic herbs, flowers, and fruit are already growing on the property, with room for more contingent on drought conditions, and your willingness to be a responsible plant parent. (Imagine picking your breakfast fresh off the tree different times of the year!)
We are seeking a new community member who will be a good fit for our co-evolving community home. Please comment here and Private Message me on Facebook or text your information to the phone number listed here.
