About Rosewood

The theme of Rosewood Hearth is well-being. Rosewood is home to a diverse group of respectful, caring housemates who emphasize individual and collective wellbeing and growth through intentional living, creative play, and nourishing relaxation…especially in outdoor settings.

Sitting beside Berkeley’s culinary district “Gourmet Ghetto,” our Rose Street property is a beautifully refinished, multi-unit home in a quiet neighborhood. The 14 bedroom home has just been fully remodeled and furnished specifically for community living. The property consists of large original home and a converted 2 story condominium.

J –  I’m a former elementary school teacher turned software engineer. I grew up in southern california but I’ve been living in the bay area for the past 3 years. I currently work for a software company (from my desk at home). When I’m not working I enjoy playing video games, watching anime, and reading fantasy books (I’m at the end of the Wheel of Time series)! I also enjoy hiking and riding my bike. I’m really interested in community because of how sustainable the model can be, in addition to the perks of being able to socialize with others and learn and grow from them. I look forward to meeting everyone!
