About Room Sharing
Room sharing cuts housing costs, plain and simple. In Houston today, the average rent for a studio apartment is about $1,010 - $1,100. Add another $200 for utilities and Wi-Fi, and it easily tops $1,300. You may not have a great location, and you may still have to haul your laundry out each week.
The average room share in Houston is $750 - $800 monthly. So, sharing saves almost $500 a month—or $6,000 a year! At Village Spare Rooms you can save even more than that as our rooms are under $700.
But spare room housing is not for everyone. You share common areas and sometimes bathrooms with others. (I grew up sharing a single bathroom with 4 other people.) There are (or should be) house rules about noise, cleanliness, overnight guests, etc. If there aren’t clear understandings, problems can arise. Village Spare Rooms are priced under market and offer clear expectations for everyone's comfort and peace of mind.
