I am 64 and stepping away from full-time higher education work after more than 25 years in university settings. I am taking a reflective year to write, recharge, and explore life in Philadelphia. I have lived and worked in five countries, including eight years in China, and feel most at home in diverse, walkable neighborhoods. I am seeking a furnished one-bedroom apartment (or larger) beginning in June, ideally in Center City or surrounding neighborhoods, with good access to public transit and grocery stores, as I do not drive. I am single, quiet, financially stable, and low-impact. I do not smoke or drink. I exercise regularly, enjoy audiobooks and travel, and would treat your home with great respect and care. References are available upon request.

I am 64 and stepping away from full-time higher education administration after more than 25 years in university settings. I have lived and worked in five countries, including eight years in China, and tend to feel most at home in diverse, walkable neighborhoods with a strong sense of community. During this coming year, I hope to spend more time writing, reading, and enjoying a quieter daily rhythm. I am single, quiet, and steady by nature. I do not smoke or drink, exercise regularly, and spend much of my free time listening to audiobooks and podcasts or exploring a neighborhood on foot. Because of my eyesight, I do not drive, so proximity to public transit and grocery stores is important to me. I keep my living space clean and orderly, pay rent promptly, and treat a home with care and respect. I am seeking a furnished one-bedroom apartment or small self-contained space beginning in June for a one-year stay. Professional and personal references are available upon request.

Comments: June start, flexible. Seeking 2–3 month rental and open to extending up to 12 months if mutually agreeable. Responsible, quiet, and looking for a good neighborhood fit.
