About SharePad

Since 2014, I’ve been creating and maintaining shared living spaces designed for comfort, respect, and accessibility. What started as one small rental project grew into a local effort to provide affordable rooms for rent in Tacoma and surrounding communities. Over the years, the goal has stayed the same — to make it easier for people to find stable, well-maintained housing in a shared, cooperative environment.

What makes us different is how we manage and maintain our homes. Shared living works best when everyone understands expectations — and we take that seriously. We enforce rules consistently and address issues directly when someone doesn’t maintain common areas or behaves in a way that’s disruptive or incompatible with the household. Through background checks, in-depth interviews, and the use of smart home tools, we’ve refined a management process that fosters accountability and community. Residents are invited to join a culture of shared living that already works — not arrive to change it, adapting to a structure that keeps the home clean, fair, and enjoyable for everyone.

At SharePad Homes, every property is set up with private bedrooms and organized shared areas, so residents can enjoy personal space while still benefiting from a cooperative environment. Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or someone looking to simplify life, these homes are meant to be clean, practical, and inclusive.

Many of our homes feature updated kitchens, modern fixtures, and individual storage space for each resident. Our approach to housing is simple — maintain comfortable, respectful homes where people can live affordably and safely.

We’re proud to offer a growing selection of rooms for rent in Lakewood WA, Tacoma, and nearby areas. Locations are chosen for their convenience — close to shopping, public transportation, and local employers — making them ideal for people who want a straightforward, no-drama living arrangement.

SharePad Homes also supports LGBTQ+ inclusive living environments, ensuring that all residents feel welcome and respected.
