Excellent Torrance location, 4 miles to the beach!

the apartment was remodeled/renovated when I moved in a year ago - new carpet, laminate flooring, granite counters. High-speed internet and utilities extra - we pay for all utilities. There's a $35 application fee for the apartment complex: Copa Pacific. There are also virtual tours and pictures of the complex available online if you search for the complex.

While there are a number of amenities in the complex - pool, hot tub, putting green, gym - these amenities are currently closed due to COVID-19.

I'm a middle school teacher who will be teaching from home for the entirety of the 2020/2021 academic year. I keep to the shelter-in-place guidelines pretty strictly (grocery delivery or curbside, not eating in restaurants at all, not entering other households, working either from my home or my empty classroom, etc) and am looking for someone who will be similarly cautious. Once stay-at-home orders are relaxed, I want to be able to clearly communicate expectations in order to keep each other safe and gauge our relative comfort with new activities.

I'm looking for a roommate who would be interested in sharing a drink, meal, and a board game or movie on occasion, but no need to feel obligated.

I have two cats, Curie and Beaker, and they're very friendly. Curie tends to be dominant over other cats, so this is likely not the right environment if you have a cat. They'd both likely adjust to a dog, though!

The apartment is mostly furnished, but the bedroom will be available unfurnished - the furniture shown in the pictures belongs to my current roommate. The patio is an in-process Tiki bar - I have an awesome video of it I'm happy to share upon request!
