Climbing Roommate to Share a Modestly Furnished Apartment in NW Las Vegas

Original Post

This is a climber furnished 2 + 2 ground floor apt in a four-plex, close to the climbing gym, Red Rocks and Mt.Charleston.

This location was called the "Baby Ghetto", but persistent sweeps by L.V. Metro has cleaned the neighborhood up a lot. It's just friendly working class folks now. In fact it is the friendliest neighborhood I have lived in Las Vegas.

Good freeway access for trips to Red Rocks, Mt. Charleston, even Utah; 30 minutes to Calico Basin, 45 minutes to Echo Turnoff at Mt. Charleston, 20 minutes to Red Rock Climbing Center. In the neighborhood, within a 4 mile radius, is Sprouts Farmer's Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and a selection of chain stores and outlets

The monthly rent is $600 and average monthly utilities over 12 months at about $180.00.

The monthly cost for a roommate or couple would be $390

I work from my desktop trading options in the stock market. Usually trading mornings from 5:00 to 9:00 A.M. - sometimes till 1:00 P.M. Rest of the time I am climbing, hanging out or pursuing some other outdoor activity. A large "hit list" of new projects awaits around Mt. Charleston this Summer.

There is a workout corner in the living room: perfect pull-up, free weights, stay-ball, hang-board, small climbing wall. The second bedroom (about 10' x 10.5') has a queen size bed, wall to wall closet and a small work-desk in place.

Your private bathroom is in the hallway just outside the bedroom door. There a washer/dryer combo in the utility room. The kitchen is equipped to make a healthy meal for at least 4 people. I have a wok and pot for pasta, microwave, blender, crock pot. We divvy the common the space equally.

High Speed Dual Band Wireless Internet is included without additional charge. No cable TV however.

Right now I am managing half the rent and utilities by hosting for Airbnb. I would prefer a more permanent room mate through 2017 at least. The apartment share is available long term beginning July 15, 2017. Long term means to me at least 4 months.

If you are interested in only a short term share then access my link on Airbnb. You can see the open booking calendar on the site. May 1st to May 31st is available. On the Airbnb site you can read what former guests have said about staying here.

As of two years ago, I'm generally getting booked in advance about 6 weeks.
-----------------------------
Far as habits: I'm quiet. I use headphones for any listening I might do. My friends tell me to my face I am OK to hang out with...I eat a generally a healthy diet; almost no fried foods and little meat.

I've been actively climbing over 45 years. Not a compulsive cleaner, but I try to keep things clean....counters are clean and the place gets regular vacuuming. I sometimes have overnight guests/on the road climbing partners (I have a futon or thermarests for them). My climbing gear resides on dedicated wire shelves and guidebooks in a bookcase for easy access. I've been known to leave a pile of cams on the carpet. You can also. I can't remember the last time I partied.

I'm in the midst of rebuilding a 3.3 liter Yamaha 2 stroke outboard engine. Things are clean and no odors but there are some plastic crates in the living room. The block is back in Florida at the moment but when I get it back, I'll be working on the re-assembly in the front room and the entryway.

I do have a cat and now a kitten. They're clean, quiet and friendly. The apartment building is located between Jones and Torrey Pines south of Lake Mead Ave.

I am looking for preferably, a fellow rock-climber or a couple who is moderately quiet, neat and responsible to share 1/2 of rent and utilities. Absolutely No Smokers, Smoking or E Cigarettes. No dogs: there just isn't room. Aside from studying and trading I am planning several road trips next year.

Updated 12/27/2016. Giving myself a bump. Guides have stayed here in the past and found it reasonable for cost and access.

For what it's worth i'd take you up on the offer if I lived in Vegas. Any good stock picks for 2017?

Thomas Beck · · Las Vegas, Nevada · Joined Feb 2006 · Points: 1,025

Thanks. Got to be cold where you are. I mainly day trade front week options in SPY, QQQ, IWM. Been doing OK since the most recent rally began. No tips.

Just had a Finish couple here over 8 days to boulder. One day at the Keyhole and 3 days road touring during the storms. Their last 3 days were at Monkey Bars and near Sunny and Steep. Reported rock was sound enough to boulder only in that area exposed to sun. Last day in Windy Canyon. They said they had great time. Updated January 29, 2017
