Seeking Shared Accommodation: Quiet, Responsible 68-Year-Old Looking for a Unique Living Situation

Hello! I’m a single 68-year-old empty-nester looking for a unique shared accommodation opportunity in Winnipeg. I’m moving at the end of October 2024 and am currently considering one-bedroom apartments in Wolseley or near Polo Park. However, I’m open to the idea of sharing a house or two-bedroom with someone who might appreciate having a responsible and quiet housemate.

About Me: • Age: 68, healthy with some hearing challenges. • Status: Single, empty-nester with two adult children living in Winnipeg • Current Living Situation: Currently in a shared 2-bedroom apartment; my roommate is moving out • Interests: Gardening, classical music, physical fitness • Work: Full-time, currently from home and downtown starting September 2025 • Transportation: No car, so proximity to public transport is essential • Lifestyle: Quiet, enjoys watching TV with headphones, no loud music

What I’m Looking For: • Location: Preferably in Wolsley or near Polo Park, but open to other areas with good public transport • Accommodation: Private bedroom and living space (can be shared or private) • Additional Needs: Space for a stand-up freezer, bicycle, and some storage • Household Chores: Open to negotiating housekeeping chores and yard work

Ideal Living Situation: I’m hoping to find someone around my age who might appreciate having a quiet, responsible housemate. I am open to discussing any unique living arrangements you might have in mind.

Additional Information: • I have a clear criminal record check from 2013 and am willing to provide a new one if needed. • I value open communication and respect for each other’s space and privacy. • I do not tolerate prejudice and am looking for a respectful and inclusive living environment.

Contact: If you think this arrangement might work for you, please send me an email. I’m looking forward to discussing this further and finding a great living situation for both of us.
