Room in Condo for Rent

Habitación en alquiler | Pierce Street, Albany, CA, USA

Hello all, starting September 1st I will have one bedroom for rent in my 2 bedroom condo in Albany, as my current roommate is moving out. The room includes your own private bathroom, as well as your own secured parking space in a parking garage attached. There is also extra closet space available so you have plenty of room to store your belongings. I am on the 12th floor and we get amazing views of Golden Gate Bridge, as included in the very last photos I uploaded below. It’s incredible at sunset! Rent for the room is $1500/mo plus PG&E (water and wifi are already paid for by HOA). The lease is for one year, and total move in cost would be $3000, along with a non-refundable $500 fee towards HOA (this is so that they can continue for water, wifi, and ensure that the elevators are running smoothly). As the room is in a condo, it does come with amenities. This includes: tennis courts outdoor pool rec room sauna gym The condo is conveniently located right between Albany Hill and 99 Ranch Market, and is a 15 minute walk to El Cerrito Plaza and El Cerrito Plaza BART. There is also amazing hiking trails in Albany Hill and there is a trail leading to the Albany Bulb which is about 20 mins away. There is also one cat living here, heads up. Pets are allowed, but only cats, as he is very afraid of other dogs, I apologize in advance for that. Pet deposit would be $200. Feel free to reach out to me with any other questions, I’d be happy to answer them. Looking forward to meeting each and every one of you 🙏🏻

In search of roomie

Habitación en alquiler | El Sobrante, CA, USA

Looking for a roommate for my 2 bedroom apartment. This is also on craigs list. Requirements from management: $40 application fee, copy of ID/passport, credit check(just to be sure you're reliable), $950 deposit. (This will be a month to month lease but hoping for someone long term) As much as I love them, NO pets. (I do have fish) Requirements from me: this is a shoes off home. If you can't respect that please, do not apply. This is also a 420 friendly home. About the apartment: it wont let me post more pictures but I can gladly send them over. We are on a main street so cars are constantly driving by. Neighbors are all pretty active also, if you're looking for a quite hole in the wall, this may not be the place for you. This apartment is on the second floor and we are above the parking lot so no one is below which is great. You can also see the parking lot through your bedroom window which can be comforting. (The balcony is also over the parking lot.) Trash day is Tuesday and it can be a rough start as they come in around 530am.. There are 2 washers and dryers downstairs that cost about 4.50 per load. Pge is typically around $60. $80-$100 during the cold season. And xfinity bill is about 146. We split both. Water and garbage are included in rent. The apartment is also very central. Take a right you're at the 24, take a left and you'll hit 80. Walgreens, Raleys, central foods, and lots of bars and restaurants near by. Wild cat canyon is just up the way also. The room itself is about 10 × 13. Expectations of you: Pay your bills on time. Management charges $200 late fee for rent. That's a big no thanks for me. Clean up after yourself. I don't mind sharing things as long as they are respected and returned. We split household chores for main areas. Kitchen, bathroom, living area, floors. Which are usually kept up nicely if we clean after ourselves. please message love lala 4 at y a h o o or text 510 830 660l. Blessings and happy home hunting

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

    Roomster currently shows 89 active rooms for rent across Vallejo. That inventory spans Downtown Vallejo, Glen Cove, Hiddenbrooke, Mare Island, Country Club Crest, South Vallejo, and St. Vincent's Hill, with renters often comparing neighborhoods by commute time to the San Francisco Bay Ferry, SolTrans and I-80 access, and rent budget. Fresh room listings move quickly when they include parking, furnished setup, or a short ride to the ferry terminal and major employers.

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

    That depends on lifestyle and commute priority. Downtown Vallejo and the waterfront appeal to renters who want walkable streets near the ferry terminal, cafes, and the arts district. Glen Cove and Hiddenbrooke suit renters who want quieter, hillier neighborhoods with easy I-780 and I-80 access. Mare Island draws people who like its historic character and open space, while Country Club Crest and South Vallejo tend to offer better value for students and working professionals.

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

    Across current Roomster listings, room rent in Vallejo typically ranges from $800-$1,400/month depending on neighborhood, amenities, and shared home size. Rooms near Downtown Vallejo, the waterfront, and Glen Cove often run toward the higher end; South Vallejo, Country Club Crest, and East Vallejo tend to offer better value. Parking, a private bathroom, furnished status, and proximity to the ferry terminal or I-80 usually account for the largest price differences.

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

    Yes. Furnished and flexible-lease room listings appear regularly on Roomster, especially near Downtown Vallejo, the ferry terminal, Mare Island, and Kaiser Permanente where ferry commuters, healthcare workers, and Cal Maritime students drive steady demand for move-in-ready spaces. Those listings often include utilities or WiFi. Just confirm exactly what is included - parking, furniture quality, laundry access, and lease length - before committing.

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

    In Vallejo, confirm commute time to the ferry or on I-80, parking, whether utilities are included, laundry access, pet rules, and noise levels before you commit. That matters even more if you're weighing Downtown Vallejo or the waterfront (walkable, ferry-close) against Glen Cove, Hiddenbrooke, or East Vallejo (quieter, more parking). Actual door-to-door time to San Francisco, Oakland, or Napa often makes a bigger difference in daily life than the neighborhood name.

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

    Roomster is one of the top options for finding rooms for rent in Vallejo, CA. With ID screening, filters for budget, location, and proximity to the ferry terminal or I-80, and direct messaging with hosts, it helps you narrow the Vallejo room market efficiently without broker friction.

  • Room type: Decide between a private room or a shared room depending on your budget and comfort level.
  • Lease flexibility: Look for listings offering month-to-month or sublease options if you need shorter commitments.

Using Roomster’s filters to specify these preferences will help you quickly focus on the most relevant listings.

What to Compare Before Renting a Room

  • Budget alignment: Make sure rent, deposits, and utility costs fit within your financial plan.
  • Lease terms: Understand the length of the lease and any rules about subletting or early move-out.
  • Room amenities: Check bathroom type, parking availability, and whether the room is furnished.
  • Screening requirements: Many landlords require an ID check and a credit check; be prepared to provide necessary documents.
  • Move-in date: Confirm availability matches your schedule to avoid overlapping housing costs.

Room rental scams and misunderstandings can derail your housing search. Keep these tips in mind:

  • Be cautious with payments: Avoid wiring money or paying deposits before seeing the room in person or confirming landlord identity.
  • Meet in safe, public places: When possible, tour the property with a trusted person and ask detailed questions about the room and lease.
  • Document everything: Keep copies of agreements, receipts, and correspondence to protect yourself.

Staying vigilant helps you avoid common pitfalls and find a trustworthy rental.
