Posting for my brother, who's been in Atlanta about a year.



43M, works in film industry & splits time between NYC & ATL. Looking for studio (preferred) or roommate situation in East Side, neighborhoods such as Virginia Highlands, Midtown, Little Five, Cabbagetown, EAV, Candler Park, Poncey Highlands. Older building is fine, not picky about amenities but would like a little sunlight & on-site laundry a plus. Wants to keep rent around $800.

He's looked on Facebook groups but no luck. Craigslist has been a bust. Any other suggestions for finding a place?

Is promove.com good for finding less-expensive or non-traditional rentals like a random basement apartment in an old house? I've read some reviews that say they only deal in newer, more expensive properties like you can find on apartments.com. Also, do they do roommate matching?

Unfortunately a lot of basement, attic, garage apartments have been converted to AirBnB rentals lately, exacerbating the rental and affordability crisis. Long term leases that use to go to people, like your brother, are now short term rentals to visitors and tourist.

I've had luck finding people to rent a room in my home on Roomster.com

$800 for those neighborhoods will be out of the question if he's looking for a studio. If he can stretch to $1000, he may be able to do it. Zillow showing a 1br duplex in Cabbagetown going for $995.

What's his draw to those neighborhoods? Has he considered Grant Park? Might be able to find something a bit cheaper there.
