You and each RoomMate will pay a deposit of 1 month of your private room rent when your apartment rental application is submitted to a building owner or property manager for review.

Perfect RoomMates

Looking for the perfect NYC apartment can be challenging. Looking for the perfect NYC roommate at the same time can be tough. You encounter different personalities, and it’s hard to know what kind of person will be a good fit for you to live with.

Any real estate broker can show you several apartments and rooms that might meet your basic criteria. Many roommate matching websites charge you to search for roommates yourself.

Apartments Expert shows you quality affordable apartments and rooms for free. We also presents you with RoomMate matches that appear to be compatible with your financial, lifestyle and social profile for free

Students looking for affordable off campus housing are welcome.
