Rooms for Rent in High Point, NC

常见问题

• How many rooms for rent are available in High Point, NC right now?

  High Point built its name on furniture, and its room market keeps a rhythm no other Triad city shares: twice a year the furniture market fills the city, and the rest of the year rooms stay among the cheapest in the region. Roomster has 23 rooms for rent listed around town, clustered in the older neighborhoods near downtown and the North Main corridor, around High Point University, and spread out toward Deep River and Oak Hollow Lake. High Point sits mostly in Guilford County across ZIP codes 27260, 27262, 27263, and 27265, so a room tagged 27268 is right by the HPU campus.

• How much does a room for rent in High Point, NC cost per month?

  Long-term rooms here mostly run $600 to $800 a month, among the lowest in the Piedmont Triad, with furnished rooms and ones that bundle utilities toward the top. You can find rooms under $700 a month in the older neighborhoods near downtown and along the Business 85 corridor, where the aging housing stock keeps rents down, while rooms in Emerywood or near the university ask a little more. One caveat unique to this city: during the April and October furniture markets, short-stay rooms are priced by the night rather than the month and can jump to $100 a night or more, so a month-to-month room is the cheaper play if your timing is flexible.

• Which High Point neighborhoods have the cheapest rooms for rent?

  The value sits on the older, flatter side of town. The neighborhoods near downtown and the West High Street area hold the cheapest rooms, along with the apartment blocks off Eastchester Drive. Emerywood, the historic tree-lined district near downtown and High Point University, asks more for the address, and the streets closest to HPU run higher because of student and staff demand. Rooms grow scarcer and pricier out toward Deep River and Oak Hollow Lake, where the housing turns to single-family homes on larger lots. For the cheapest room within walking distance of the downtown Amtrak and bus terminal, look at the 27260 and 27262 blocks near Main Street.

• Can I find a short-term or furnished room for rent during the High Point furniture market?

  Yes, and renting rooms to market visitors is a High Point tradition older than any app - the local chamber was matching homeowners with buyers back in the 1950s. Because the High Point Market draws more than 75,000 people to a city of fewer than 120,000 twice a year, and the hotels have never come close to holding them all, residents rent out spare rooms and whole homes for the five-day shows each April and October. If you are an exhibitor or buyer, filter by move-in date and a short lease length and you will turn up furnished, by-the-night rooms; if you live here, those same weeks are when a spare room earns the most. For an ordinary stay, ignore the market spike and search month to month.

• Can I rent a room near High Point University or the city's furniture employers?

  Both, though they pull in different directions. High Point University sits in the north-central part of the city off Montlieu Avenue and North Main, and because HPU keeps most undergraduates in campus housing until senior year, the rooms for rent nearby go mostly to seniors, graduate students in the new law and dental schools, and staff - and the school asks off-campus renters to live more than a mile out. On the job side, Ralph Lauren, Thomas Built Buses, and the city's furniture makers anchor the local payroll, so filter by the part of town closest to your campus or plant. A room in Emerywood or near the North Main corridor splits the difference between the university and downtown.

• What should I check before renting a room in High Point, NC?

  Ask who holds the lease, which utilities are included, and whether you are a co-tenant or subletting. On deposits, North Carolina caps what a landlord can collect - 1.5 months rent on a month-to-month room, up to two months on a longer lease - and that money has to sit in a trust account or be covered by a bond, then come back to you within 30 days of move-out. There is no state cap on the screening fee, so ask what it covers before you pay. Meet the household in person or on video, look at the actual room, and never send a deposit to someone you have not met.
