Description

Room available: lease takeover in Roxbury, Nov 1, 2026 – Aug 31, 2027

I'm looking for someone to take over my lease starting November 1. The landlord will rewrite the lease with you on it, running through August 31, 2027.

The room (pictured)

  • Lots of sun, with a few big windows
  • Two distinct spaces: a bed area plus a second area that works as a reading nook or study space
  • Big closet
  • Shared bathroom with one roommate

The apartment

  • Nice common area
  • Kitchen with a bar and lots of counter space
  • Park right by the house
  • Walkable to Stop & Shop
  • 10-minute walk to the Roxbury Crossing Orange Line

The roommates

  • Riti: does Food as Medicine research at Tufts. She has her own separate space upstairs and shares the kitchen. She mostly keeps to herself.
  • Elisabeth: a bookbinding student, and the roommate you'd share the bathroom with.
  • Both are very conscientious and communicative, amazing roommates.

Who they're looking for

  • A young professional or student, like them
  • Someone conscientious, quiet, and respectful

Great fit for

  • Students or staff at Northeastern, Wentworth, MassArt, or the Longwood Medical Area, which are all close by
  • Anyone commuting downtown or along the Orange Line
  • Anyone who wants green space very close
  • Someone looking for a calm, low-drama household with considerate housemates

Rent: $1517/month, Utilites: 50-100/person depending on season

If you're interested, send me a message. I'm having a quick preliminary chat with folks, then passing a shortlist along to the roommates.
