Looking for a roommate or room?

[dm6246348]

Hello everyone,

Not that I'm expecting to find a room or roommate here. Although you never know.

I thought I'd check with other seniors if they have any advice on how to find a room or maybe even a senior roommate.

Or maybe even if the AARP membership could help in this regard?

For starters, I'm aware of the 55+ communities. And am even currently living in one. But would probably have to either move out or find a roommate due to its rising cost.

Thanks!

Not sure if you’re still looking for a roommate. But here is a really great group that might be able to help you out in Atlanta.

Community & Local Options

If you prefer more traditional or community-based methods, consider these avenues:

• Active 55+ Communities: Check community bulletin boards in local Del Webb or similar developments, as residents may be looking to share their homes.
• Town Senior Services: Local Parks and Recreation departments or senior centers often maintain lists of individuals interested in shared housing.
• Facebook Groups: Look for local "Greensboro Rentals" or senior-specific groups like Colively, which focuses on social women aged 65+.
• HomeShare Online: A broad platform that many seniors use to find long-term, compatible roommates.

It depends. Why? Are you looking for one yourself? Where are you from?

Anyone know of good websites or sources that could help seniors find roommates or a room? Thanks!

I think religious institutions might be able to assist as well as local senior service groups and the non profit national shared housing resource center which has a website and listing by state   https://nationalsharedhousing.org/program-directory/
