The Modern Way to Rent a Room

A marketplace for room-by-room renting

Alcove turns ordinary homes into thoughtfully managed shared residences with per-room leases, all-inclusive pricing, and a process run entirely online.

Learn more about how Alcove works
01

We lease by the room

Instead of renting a whole unit, tenants take a private bedroom on its own lease. No co-signing with strangers, no being on the hook for a roommate who leaves.

02

One all-inclusive price

Rent covers utilities, high-speed internet, and furnished common areas where available. Tenants never split a bill or set up an account.

03

Everything happens online

Apply, get matched, sign, and pay in one place. Smart locks and a digital move-in mean someone can go from search to keys without a single in-person step.

04

A verified community

Every member is screened and every home is managed to a standard. Roommate matching pairs compatible people so a house feels like a home, not a hostel.

So many of my coworkers are paying really high prices for their small apartments, and I'm saving so much money and living in this huge, beautiful house.
