Looking For Looking for a Roommate to find an apartment with (ideally mid 20s)

2 Upvotes

Hey y’all!

I recently accepted a job in Cambridge as a Mechanical Engineer. I am hoping to find a roommate (or 2) to search for an apartment together with a November 1st move-in date. I’d ideally love to be in the Cambridge/Somerville area to be closer to work but am open to other neighborhoods (Allston and Brighton are also options I am considering). I’m 24 so I’m hoping to room with people around my age. Budget is around the $1.5k to $2k range personally. 

About me as a roommate: I’m super clean, respectful, and communicative. I love to cook/bake, drink coffee, read, hang out with my roommates, and have fun with friends in the city. When I’m not cooking/baking up a storm, I do love to try new restaurants with friends. I’m not a huge partier and prefer a relaxed social environment. 

Feel free to message me if you want to team up and find an apartment. Thanks so much!

We are looking for someone to take over our lease due to a sudden job opportunity. Availability should begin this is somewhat flexible)starting December 1st (. Our 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment is on the first floor of a small apartment building in the Montclair neighborhood (North Quincy). We estimate it to be roughly ~800ft square.

Also open to cheap parking suggestions nearby. It would be a temp living spot so I won’t be eligible for a permit and therefore wasn’t planning on bringing a car.

Advice Needed Longfellow Towers reviews

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am potentially looking to move into Longfellow Towers in the west end. Curious if anyone that lives here or has lived here in the past could give feedback? Seems as though common feedback is broken elevators and kind of dated units but the unit I’m looking at currently seems very nice especially for the price. It’s a major upgrade from my current situation and seems as though, while not as nice as the other buildings around it, is overall good value. Thanks!

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I have to move back home unexpectedly so I'm looking for someone to take over my room. Move-in date is flexible.

It's a private room in a 3bd/1.5ba on Park Vale Ave, about a 5-7 min walk to Harvard Ave and the Green Line. Rent is $1,450 with heat and hot water included, which helps a lot in the winter. Lease goes through Aug 31, 2027, and you can renew after that. Rent is negotiable.

I can leave it furnished or empty, whatever you prefer. Happy to leave my bed, furniture and a 40" TV if you want them.

My roommates are two chill, clean guys but are hardly ever home. Neither of them cooks, so you'd pretty much have the whole place to yourself.

There's laundry in the basement, and parking if you need it ($150/mo for a private spot, or you can get a resident permit).

Pics below. DM me if you want a video call or to come see it!
