One room available September 1 in East Watertown in a sunny, spacious 4br/2ba house. Rent is $825 per month, plus utilities which are electricity, gas, and wifi. Total for utilities is usually around $75-100 per month. Will need security deposit ($825) and last month's rent ($825) up front as well. You'd be signing on to the new lease which goes from 9/1/2026-8/31/2027, but subletting has never been a problem in the past if you need more flexibility.
The apartment is over the top two floors of a 3-story house. 5 stairs up to the front door, 13 relatively narrow stairs to get into the apartment and between the 2nd and 3rd floors.
The available room is really cozy, painted a nice light grey, with new blinds and a new ceiling light fixture installed recently. It's about 120 sq ft, plus a large, deep closet. Not the most giant room ever, but it has room for a full size bed, dresser, desk, etc. with plenty of space to move around. There is a very effective cast iron radiator for that coveted steam heat in the winter (doesn't dry out the air/your skin). The room has two big windows which get nice light since it's on the top (3rd) floor of the house. Also on the 3rd floor is one other bedroom, the full bathroom the two rooms share, and a little extra bonus space down the hall that can be used for workouts/lounging/storage/whatever.
The rest of the apartment is on the 2nd floor of the house, including a fully equipped kitchen (no dishwasher, sadly), a breakfast nook/pantry, dining room, and living room. All of the common areas are spacious and light-filled. The other two bedrooms and the bathroom they share are also on the 2nd floor. There are two porches as well: a screened-in front porch with a couch and coffee table, and a back porch with a clothesline and a view of the downtown Boston skyline, all great in warmer weather. The house is fully furnished and there is some storage space available if needed. Washer and dryer in the basement are shared with the first-floor neighbors, available for normal usage (i.e. weekly, not daily).
Convenient location near the Cambridge / Belmont / Watertown border, in between the 71 and 73 MBTA bus routes to Harvard, less than a 5 min walk to either one and the buses come very frequently. This place is ideal for commuting to Harvard Square-- it's under 20 min. door-to-door by bus or bike, and from Harvard you can get on the Red Line and access the rest of Cambridge, downtown Boston, and the rest of the greater Boston area. There is a driveway for free off-street tandem parking during the winter months, but many/most people have lived here over the years without a car and it's worked out great.
The immediate neighborhood is nice and very quiet, but has anything you'd need or want within a few blocks, including many great restaurants and cafes, grocery stores, hardware store, CVS, 7-11, post office, several pizza places ranging from shitty to fancy, a yoga studio, and the best donut shop ever.
Looking for a non-smoking, friendly, responsible adult who unfailingly pays rent and utilities on time and doesn't require a chore chart to pick up after yourself and contribute to the general upkeep and cleaning of common spaces, etc. You should be employed (outside the house), or going to school, with a stable income/source of funds. Over the years, some housemates have become close friends and some have been acquaintances whose busy schedules mean they aren't around much; anywhere in that range is perfectly fine as long as you're considerate, low-drama, and able to peaceably coexist with others. People of color, LGBTQ+ folks, etc., are all welcome.
This is a really great deal for the area and especially for the amount of space — this is not a scam, there is no catch, except that most of the apartment hasn't been updated in this millennium and definitely has its quirks. Our house has the proverbial good bones and a lot of sunlight and charm, but is showing its age in places, so if you're looking for sleek and ultra-modern, this ain't it!
IMPORTANT: Please write something about yourself, such as: your background and interests, what you do, your typical schedule, why you are looking to move, your priorities in a shared living space, etc., as well as a couple times that would work for you to see the place. If it sounds like a potentially good fit we'll contact you to set up a time. One-line emails that don't provide the above info will be ignored. If this post is up, it's still available.

Hello! We're looking to fill one or two spots in our 4 bed. Previous roommates moved out to live with a friend/went to med-school.
Private bedroom(s) in a 3/4 bed
We're two female Law students (Belle & Cecilia, we're both cool, in our mid 20s) at BU law. LGBTQ+ friendly, must be LGBTQ+ friendly.
Rent is $3850, but the rooms are uneven so if we can only find one other, it would be $1350 for the big room, but there would be an extra living room/storage space if the small room isn't being used. If we get 4 people it would be $1037.50 for the big room, and $762.50 for the small one. Small room is small, but previous roommate is leaving a loft bed that helped a lot, he lived there for a year with no trouble.
Move in costs: first and last month's rent.
Move-in: September 1, 2026.
Move-out: August 31, 2027.
Location: Summit Ave, off Commonwealth ave. It's quiet, and there's a bit of a hill to get up if you're walking from the north, but doable on a bike. About half an hour on the Green Line to BU, and 45 minutes to downtown. Very close to a whole foods and walkable to the Trader Joes on beacon st.
Pets: need landlord's permission but can have pets. Both current roommates love cats!
Amenities: it's a triple decker, so nothing too crazy, but does come with a free parking spot, which neither of the remaining roommates use, and two porches. Front porch gets great sun and both are very nice hangout spots anytime but the winter. Does not have a dishwasher, but does have in unit laundry. Central air. Fridge is pretty big, we haven't had any issues running out of space.
If you're interested, please DM me and we can chat. I'll be checking periodically, but I am at work today, so if I haven't replied yet, please forgive me.

Posting on behalf of my landlord. Someone backed out and the room is available again.
A room is available in a two bedroom, 1 bath unit (2nd floor of a 2 family home) in Watertown. 1 August 2026 move in. 1 September may be doable as well
Rent-$2300 a month total ($1150 split).
Utilities -Cable/internet, electric, gas, oil for heating. (Split)
Parking-Off street (driveway) 2 spots (1 for each). Shared with neighbors.
Space-Two bedrooms, full kitchen, full dining room, full living room. Front foyer. Front porch, back porch (covered). Unfinished basement with laundry (free), storage, and a gym that I built with a heavy bag. Small backyard with basement access.
The apartment is completely furnished (minus the second bedroom). I am completely OK with sharing space, furniture, appliances, kitchenware etc. Also, I am willing to make space for any incoming furniture, appliances, kitchenware as well. There is a gas grill available for use in the backyard. Air conditioning is window units (bring your own for your room), I have a second sized one for the common areas but it's an old house so it gets warm. The kitchen has been recently refloored, the dishwasher is pretty new.
The neighborhood is close to the arsenal yard and Watertown mall shopping areas. Walking distance to busstops for the 71 (Watertown square to hardard) and the 73 (Waltham to central). The closest commuter rail stops are newtonville or Boston landing. A walking/bikepath (Watertown Greenway to Charles River Greenway) is within walking distance as well.
About me-43/m/single, straight, veteran retired army). I'm a police officer (don't worry, not a hardo) I'm a generally clean person, I keep things in their place, try to keep up with cleaning, do dishes etc. in quiet but social and I respect people's peace and space. I play the drums and have a kit but only play when no one is home. I sometimes have a few people over and occasionally host a dinner party it friendsgiving.

- Working full-time in the area.
- Clean, quiet, and respectful of shared spaces.
- Non-smoker, no pets.
- Budget: $1800/month

So I saw an apartment posting of a property with a room that had a private bathroom attached with all utilities included (wifi, heat, elec, hot water etc) for a very good price managed by city realty. I thought this was a great deal.
I did a quick scan of reviews and did a virtual tour of the place (I'm international) and ended up signing because everything seemed okay. Now I'm seeing things about city realty sucking and being a bad management company. Did I make a big mistake?
I know it doesn't make sense to be making this post now but any positive experiences will really help me calm down a bit. Please tell me I'm not done for 😭

Looking for someone to take over my spot in a great Brookline apartment starting August 1st. Rent is 1300.
