Housing
West Philly apartment with easy commute to Swarthmore, $700/month
I’m a 2016 alum looking for a roommate for late July/August 1 move-in! This is for one room in a two-bedroom apartment in West Philly, near Malcolm X Park. The apartment is a 15-minute walk away from 49th Street Station, for easy access to Swarthmore’s campus.
Rent is $700/month and utilities usually come out to somewhere between $40-80 a month, depending on the season. You’d be taking over the lease (through May 2021) from my current roommate and would have the option to keep some/all of their furniture.
The apartment is on the second floor and has central air and heating, a washer/dryer and a dishwasher. There’s unpermitted parking on the block and bike storage on the first floor. The three apartments in our building share the porch.
The room faces the street and has a lovely classic West Philly bay window (great light for plants). The room is about 13 x 14 feet with some variation, and the walk-in closet is 7 feet deep and about 5 feet wide, with lots of room for stacking things on the upper shelves.
I’m a current English PhD student, open to living with a faculty or staff member, alum, or current student. I have a cat but would be open to adding an additional cat to the household.
Please contact me with any questions or to see photos of the apartment!

Elegant Bi-level Office/Residence in College Town
4 Park Avenue Swarthmore, PA, 19081
Description
? Elegant bi-level, 2-bedroom apartment with outdoor deck and parking spot in the heart of college town.
? Located in the middle of Swarthmore, one of the region’s most welcoming and appealing towns.The town has a regular farmer’s market in the spring, summer and fall, an excellent public library and the Septa Regional Rail stop is just adjacent to the town center — one half block from the unit.
? This apartment has been renovated very recently and it shows: wood floors, high-end kitchen and lovely lighting fixtures. The entry is on the ground level and opens into a flight of stairs directly up to the first level, which is the main floor of the unit: open-plan, huge room and more than enough space for a full dining area and a spacious, bright living room.
? This unique unit is a great place to locate a home-office or practice, or to escape the congestion of the city. It could be particularly well-suited to a counselor, coach, psychologist or psychiatrist seeking a home-office.
House Sitter
In connection with a book I am writing about pacifists who opposed U.S. involvement in World War II, I need to spend some time using the Swarthmore Peace Collection. Unfortunately my book advance is tiny. So I am hoping to find a housesitting situation for a week or two.
I’m flexible as to when this occurs, but summer seems ideal. Main requirement is wifi and reasonable proximity to 500 College Ave. Ideally I won’t need a car, although I can bring one if necessary.
I’m a quiet and excruciatingly responsible author and journalist based primarily in the Hudson Valley, where I teach occasionally at Bard College and in its prison program. I’m good with cats and plants, and I’ve been a homeowner for 30 years. I’ll gladly provide suitable references. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
