Rooms for Rent in Charlotte

How to Find Rooms For Rent in Charlotte, NC

Finding your perfect room might seem like a challenge, but there are some simple things you can do to make the process easier and quicker. The first step is to use a dedicated roommate site like SpareRoom. General rental sites might have some rooms but their key focus is whole apartments, so it will be harder to find what you're looking for. Facebook groups can also be a good place to find rooms, but they don't offer dedicated customer service or moderate listings like SpareRoom does.

Find Rooms That Fit Your Budget

The first thing you need to do is work out how much you can afford to spend. Don't forget to factor in whether that includes utilities or not - some rooms come with utilities included in the rent but it varies so bear this in mind. The great thing is that SpareRoom lets you filter ads by your budget, so you only see rooms you can afford. You can also check the 'utilities included in the rent' box to filter for those too. You'll find those options just under the search box at the top left of the page.

Live in Your Ideal Neighborhood

Once you've got your budget sorted, you'll need to think about which neighborhood you want to live in. If you're not sure yet you can browse Charlotte neighborhoods via the list at the top of this page on the right or just check out all rooms for rent in Charlotte till you get a clearer sense. Neighborhoods like South End are popular with young renters and roommates. There's lots going on and you'll find a great mix of breweries, bars and art galleries. Elizabeth is quieter than neighborhoods like South End or Uptown and, as a result, can be slightly cheaper, but it's still walkable and good for amenities.

Filter Your Living Preferences

You can filter rooms by a whole host of other options, not just budget. You can specify your move in date, filter by property size or type, number of roommates, amenities, whether you prefer to live with male or female roommates and limit your search to vegetarian/vegan households.

Save your search

When you've searched and filtered to show exactly what you're looking for, the top tip is to save your search, via the 'save search for alerts' link at the top of the results. This saves you having to enter all the info again when you come back, but it also means you can sign up for email alerts whenever something new matches your requirements, meaning you get a head start on seeing the newest rooms.

Place a 'room wanted' ad

If you're looking for a room to rent in Charlotte, don't just wait for the right room to come along, place a 'Room Wanted' ad. People don't just advertise their room and wait for people to reply, many also look through the 'wanted' ads to see who's looking in their neighborhood. We also send out thousands of email alerts every day to people renting out rooms letting them know who's currently looking - if you have a wanted ad you'll get included in these emails too.

Embrace Co-Living

Co-living is fast becoming a popular way to live. You get all the benefits of living with other people in a great location and the cost-effectiveness of sharing, plus usually a great range of in-building amenities and even events.
