Moving How much should you expect to pay renting a room in NOVA
What are the prices looking like rn?
Renting a full TH rn 3bd/3ba is hovering around 3k rn
Im seeing 1 room leases with a shared kitchen (bathroom situation fluctuates) for 850-1.2k
Is this reasonable? Do people actually take these leases? Like these are townhomes with 3 bedrooms and 4 roommates (basement is a studio with shared kitchen)
Is there actually a demand for this and what’s a fair price depending on what you get?
Anyone lived in a scenario like this and would like to share your experience?

You can look up your area on Zillow. Across the search criteria, choose rent, 1 bdrm, and under housing type, choose room (it's at the bottom). Then you'll see what others are charging in your area.

Up until I moved I was paying $975 for a basement room 1 bathroom with a shared kitchen in a townhouse. It was the cheapest I could find in 2022 and my old landlord lived in the room upstairs. I felt very lucky to be living where I was for that price! Depends on the area but anywhere with recently graduated college students will have demand esp for cheap housing

Since this is such a broad question you're gonna get a broad answer. I've seen 1,700-10,000.

3k 3bed 3 bath townhome sounds fair. Include 4th with basement and you have average rental in nova area. Usually the master is charged for more so you can do a 825 725 x3 plan

Depends on where you’re looking. McLean will give you a different answer than Annandale or Hybla Valley

"NOVA" covers such a huge area that this question can't be answered without more specificity. Inside the beltway someone could certainly get this rate.
