About sharing a place in Houston

Houston is one of the most affordable big metros, but Montrose, Midtown, and the Heights still push past $1,500 for a solo 1-bed. RoomieHunt connects med-center workers, Rice and U of H students, and energy-sector professionals with roommates so you split a great apartment instead of overpaying alone.
