ROOM IN TOLUCA W/ BATHROOM+PARKING.

Flat share | Cahuenga Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Hi guys, I have a room for rent in my really cute apartment here in Toluca Lake. It's a 2bed 2bath.Beautiful open layout with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows in every room and a private balcony.You would have your own bathroom and shower (your bathroom is also the guest bathroom) and your own parking spot in our private parking lot. $1200/month before utilities.Ideally you'd be female but open to male, mid-late 20s/early 30s. And will need to be able to prove $2050/month with 2 stubs/statements to be approved by the landlord.Utilities breakdown:-LADWP every 2 months. Usually $2001sh in winter/ $4001sh in summertime. (We would of course split this)-WiFi $35/month (yours)-Trash/sewage usually $90/month (yours)Must be pet-friendly as I do have 2 cats and a snake.I am open to another pet depending on the animal/ situation, we can totally discuss.Must be 4/20 friendly. I usually don't smoke in the apartment, but I do smoke outside at night sometimes on our beautiful balcony! Not a party animal but definitely not square if you prefer that in a roommate.Would love to be friends with my roommate, but we can keep to ourselves when wanted. I like to have friends over for drinks/board game nights occasionally and am totally fine if you do the same! I love people.I value mutual respect for shared spaces. I'm pretty easygoing as long as we're both picking up after ourselves and equally contributing to household things like trash, dishes, etc. I want to live with someone who is naturally clean and considerate, so if that isn't really your thing, we probably won't be the best fit.If you think we'd be compatible and you're interested in the room, please message me and we can set up a lunch or something and talk roomie stuff!

Frequently asked questions

  • How many rooms for rent are available in Glendale, CA right now?

    Roomster currently shows 185 active rooms for rent across Glendale. That inventory spans Downtown Glendale, Adams Hill, Verdugo Woodlands, Montrose, Sparr Heights, the Brand Boulevard corridor, and nearby Burbank, Pasadena, and Eagle Rock, with renters often comparing neighborhoods by commute to the Disney campuses, walkability to the Americana at Brand, and access to the SR-134 or the Glendale Metrolink station. Fresh room listings move quickly here, since Glendale's central LA location keeps demand high.

  • What are the best Glendale neighborhoods to rent a room?

    It depends on lifestyle and budget. Downtown Glendale appeals to renters who want to walk to the Americana at Brand, the Galleria, and Brand Boulevard's restaurants. Adams Hill and Verdugo Woodlands draw those who want hillside, residential streets, while Montrose and Sparr Heights offer a small-town, walkable village feel up north. The Brand Boulevard corridor, Tropico, and nearby Atwater Village or Eagle Rock tend to offer better value with quick access to Downtown and the studios.

  • How much does a room for rent cost in Glendale?

    Across current Roomster listings, room rent in Glendale typically ranges from $900-$1,400/month depending on neighborhood, amenities, and shared home size. Downtown Glendale, Verdugo Woodlands, and newer builds near the Americana often run toward the higher end ($1,150-$1,400); Tropico, the south end near San Fernando Road, and parts of the Brand corridor tend to offer better value ($900-$1,100). A private bathroom, parking, furnished status, and walkability to Downtown usually account for the largest price differences in this LA-metro market.

  • Can I find furnished or short-term rooms in Glendale?

    Yes. Furnished and flexible-lease room listings show up regularly on Roomster, especially near Downtown Glendale and the Grand Central creative district where entertainment and animation staff at Disney and the nearby Burbank studios, traveling nurses at Adventist Health Glendale and Glendale Memorial, corporate hires at Public Storage, Avery Dennison, and Dine Brands, and students at Glendale Community College drive steady demand for move-in-ready spaces. Those listings often fold in utilities or WiFi. Just confirm exactly what is included - parking, furniture condition, laundry access, and lease length - before you commit.

  • What should I check before renting a room in Glendale?

    In Glendale, confirm parking (assigned vs street permit), commute to the Disney campuses or your studio, proximity to the SR-134, SR-2, or I-5, whether utilities are included, laundry access, pet rules, and noise levels before you sign. That matters even more when comparing Downtown Glendale (walkable, busier) with Verdugo Woodlands or Montrose (quieter, hillside). Distance to the Glendale Metrolink station, the Beeline bus, or your job often shapes daily life more than a neighborhood's reputation, especially if you commute into LA or Burbank.

  • What is the best rooms for rent app in Glendale, CA?

    Roomster is one of the top options for finding rooms for rent in Glendale, CA. With ID screening, filters for budget, location, and neighborhood preference, and direct messaging with hosts, it helps you work through the Glendale and greater LA room market without broker friction or hidden fees.
