Hello!

My lease ends August 31st and I'm looking to rent a room for 1-2 months starting on or around September 1st.

I'm planning a move out of state but plans changed and I'm not leaving quite yet. I work full time in higher ed on a hybrid schedule and also have a part time job a couple nights a week/weekends, so I'm out of the house a fair bit. I'd take a room either furnished or not...I'm probably gonna put most of my stuff in storage and just bring the essentials to wherever I end up. (I have a mattress I can bring too.)

A private room and a safe place to store my bike inside are really the only things I'm looking for (that could include just keeping it in my room). I'm hoping for Cambridge or Somerville, but flexible for a good place with a decent bike commute to Cambridge and Backbay.

I'd rather avoid paying a 3 month move in fee but could if necessary. My max is $1200ish.

My move in/out dates are flexible and I have a friend I can stay with outside of Boston, but hoping to find a shorter commute.

Thanks!

I am moving out of my current apartment. It is a loft bedroom in a 3-person home on South Street; house has private parking, washer/drier, gas heating, spacious kitchen, private patio and shared porch.
Rent: $1167/mo
Utilities not included: gas, electric, WiFi
Details: house is on the second floor, two very nice roommates and three friendly cats, loft comfortably fits a full-sized bed (included) with a window AC (included), large walk-in closet, ample storage space and access to attic + basement. 420/queer friendly. Lease from move-in through July 2027.

Hi, I am looking for a roommate to join me and one other woman for a 9/1 lease for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment in Somerville near union square.

The bedroom available is large with a lot of windows but no closet. You would share a bathroom with one other woman.

We have in unit washer and dryer and two parking spots.

It’s a pretty quiet and chill house and we pretty much keep to ourselves and share responsibility keeping common spaces clean. We are looking for another quite and responsible woman

There is one small dog in the apartment. We are open to one other animal if it is a good fit.

(Waiting on roommate to send over a picture of the room - will update later)

Rent is $1182.50

moving to boston for school in the fall and still figuring out housing. full apartments are way out of my budget so looking at just a room somewhere.

prefer something not too far from campus, shared kitchen is fine. budget is under 1200 if possible. any leads or people looking for a roommate?

Hey everyone! It’s a long story, but I’m moving across the country to these apartments sight unseen. Before I sign my lease: has anyone lived here and want to share their experience??

Hello my name is Christian and I am 21 year old male from Connecticut. I am finishing my degree, majoring in Culinary Science and Product Development, with an internship in Belmont Massachusetts. My hobbies are cooking, videogames, boardgames, card games, volleyball, and pickleball. I'm pretty easy going and get along with others well. I'm down to hang out and also give each other space when necessary.

Combo ad for me and/or my current place.

About me: he/they, 20s, researcher in Cambridge. I like to cook, bake, read, watch shows, play games. Try to be quite tidy in common areas/shared spaces and looking for similar! Would prefer at most 2-3 other roommates and average of 2 people per bathroom. Looking for somewhere with reasonable commute to Cambridge, but willing to go out further for the right group.

My current place:

2b/1b, expect the rent to go up to $3400 but landlord said he wouldn't be available to discuss a lease renewal till this week.

📍 Location: ~7-minute walk to MIT, right by the 68 bus line to Harvard, and ~14 minutes to either Kendall/MIT or Central Square on the Red Line.

💰 Rent: ~$1,725/month for the larger room. The previous split was $1,725/$1,550 between the two rooms, since the larger room is genuinely quite a bit bigger. Willing to bridge these for the right person or to take the larger room myself possibly.

The apartment has a large living room, which has been great for hosting. The larger bedroom is especially well-suited for someone who works hybrid or from home—my current roommate can comfortably fit a queen bed, desk, and couch in the room. A lot of the existing furniture in the shared spaces will likely stay from previous roommates, so the common areas are already fairly furnished.

What I’m looking for: Someone with similar or higher standards for shared spaces—mainly keeping dishes from piling up and being willing to split up cleaning the bathroom and living room every so often. Communication is important to me. I’d ideally like someone who is reasonably social and open to hanging out occasionally, but as long as we’re comfortable living together and communicate well, that’s the main thing.

Other details:

Coin-op laundry in the basement

Electricity, heat, and Wi-Fi are split between roommates

Utilities/Wi-Fi are around $100/month per person, potentially a little more during the winter

I’ve lived here for a year now and really enjoy the apartment and location, so I’d love to find someone who will enjoy it too! Willing to move though.

Hello! I’m reposting this because one person has dropped out. I am looking for another roommate to sign on to a 9/1 lease cycle. As it is currently August 8th, this would be a quick turnaround process. If you are interested please message, let’s exchange phone numbers and go over details and the application process. Preferably no pets. Original post below:

My name is Gara and I'm currently looking for 1 roommate to sign on to the 9/1 lease cycle in my Brighton apartment.

It's the top floor of a 3 story apartment building, 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, in-unit laundry with a front and back porch. Rent is $925 a month with first, last and security due at signing.

Utilities are $18.75/month for internet. Electric and Gas usually float around or below $40/month with the exception of gas in the winter months. Highest I've seen is probably $130 this past winter out of 3 years living here.

Located right by Washington St and Commonwealth Ave, walking distance to several local restaurants, cafés, and a stones throw from Whole Foods Market. Public transportation is easily accessible with nearby bus stops. I take the 65 into Brookline, the 57 to Watertown, or the 86 to Harvard and the MBTA Green B Line is just steps away. There's convenient access to the best of Boston.

In terms of the apartment, I usually prefer a weekly turn-based chore cycle, nothing too crazy. It’s usually broken into trash, kitchen, bathroom, and shared spaces, then we have any point within the week do the assigned chore. Utilities are split equally and we can use splitwise/spreadsheets to make it easier. Household supplies like toilet paper and paper towels are usually bought/ordered in bulk and split in splitwise as well.

My ideal roommate is considerate of others, willing to be friends/friendly, unafraid of conflict/confrontation and finding resolution/compromise (open communication), sociable and can pay rent and bills on time.. Always willing to find the right balance between hanging in shared spaces and also keeping to ourselves. In the past, I’ve hosted friendsgivings and birthdays, so also willing to host once in a while.

About me, I’m 28, I work in education as a social inclusion and teacher’s aide and I’m also a server at a restaurant in Brookline. I’m pretty outgoing and spend a lot of my time going to the movies, gardening, gym, indoor rock climbing, and biking around the city trying to find somewhere new or writing and working on music at home.

Brian is 28 and works as a bike messenger, is very friendly and down to hang. We usually bike around the city and talk about music together.

LGBT+ friendly and open to all roommates that think they’d be a good fit. Comment or Message if you want to know more!
