NoPa · San Francisco
The Muse is a 13-person community house in the heart of San Francisco — a second family living with intention.
What is the Muse?
The Muse began in January 2023 with a shared dream: a home whose vibe and spirit would let everyone thrive most fully — a house where every member aligns head, heart, body and soul with integrity, and radiates that energy outward.
We come from 10+ nationalities and span sociology, mindfulness, game design, ecstatic dance, vegetarian cooking, and the future of society & technology. What unites us is a longing to build a future that is exciting, lighter, and resolutely optimistic.
What makes it different
Housemates show up for each other. We prioritize presence, emotional maturity and availability over how anyone looks on a résumé — forming deep, sometimes lifelong ties.
Platonic cuddles, yoga, dance and intentional movement are celebrated and woven into daily life. Bodies matter as much as minds here.
We each spend meaningful time on projects that better society and connection — helping each other out as part of a larger community of changemakers.

“Home is where place, people and purpose meet.”
How we choose to spend our time: connection, collective dinners, staying active, art & chill evenings, and events that fold in our wider community.

No long-term room is open right now. We tend to prefer people who have subletted with us first, so consider a sublet as your way in.
Interested in a sublet or future residency? Apply and we'll reach out when something opens that fits.
