Roommate Wanted | Porter Square | $1,150/mo | Sep 1

Hi! We're looking for a friendly, easygoing housemate to share a 3-bedroom house in Porter Square starting September 1st (early move-in may be possible).

I'm a Harvard PhD student in Physics, and I'd love to find someone who's a good fit for the... home. The house has always been a respectful, quiet, and friendly environment, and I hope to keep it that way with a new housemate!

About the Place

3 bedrooms, 1 bath — you'd have your own private bedroom with full access to the kitchen and common areas
Steps from the Red Line and multiple bus stops
Grocery stores and great restaurants right around the corner
Lease: September 1, 2026 – August 31, 2027
Rent: $1,150/month + utilities (est. $100–$130/month)
The outgoing tenant is open to selling the bed and closet at a negotiable price

About the current housemates
Male Harvard PhD student, Physics
Male Harvard PhD student, Economics

We're quiet, respectful, and happy to be friendly neighbors or occasionally grab a meal together — whatever works for you!

Interested? Send me an email and tell me a little about yourself.
