"1 Western Ave, Harvard University Housing. Walking distance to HBS and HKS

Looking for a male roommate to share a 2BR/2BA apartment at One Western Avenue (Harvard University Housing), starting July 8, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
The unit is on the 1st floor (Unit 1-104), 662 sq ft, with two bedrooms — each with its own... private bathroom and closet. The layout offers genuine privacy for both roommates. Kitchen comes equipped with a refrigerator, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. Vinyl flooring throughout, tile in bathrooms.

All utilities are included in the rent — heat, electricity, gas, water, and central air conditioning. The building also has a fitness room, common rooms, children's playroom, and laundry facilities. Swipe card access for building security. Located right next to the HBS campus with a short walk or bike ride to HKS and the rest of Cambridge.
Rent is $3,816/month for the unit, split evenly at $1,908/month each. The apartment is unfurnished.

About me: I'm a civil servant (Indian Revenue Service) from India joining HKS for the MC/MPA Mason Fellows program. Based in Bengaluru, relocating solo while family stays back in India. Easy-going, friendly, and respectful of personal space. The co-lessee must be a Harvard affiliate (any school). The building is smoke-free and non-pet-friendly.
Happy to share the floor plan and answer any questions — feel free to reach out.
