Rooms For Rent in Los Angeles

Most rooms advertised in Los Angeles want first, last and a deposit, and most of them run a credit check before they will talk to you. Wellness Housing does neither. What is on offer is one bed in a shared bedroom in a real house in South Los Angeles, rented by the month, with the utilities already on and already in the rent.

Say it plainly, because it is the thing people are most often surprised by. The rent buys a bed, not a room. The choice is a bunk bed or a single bed in a shared room. Every bedroom is shared and every bed is rented to one adult. There are no private rooms, no apartments and no separate units at any Wellness Housing address. If what you need is a place of your own, this is not it, and knowing that now saves you a phone call.

What comes with the bed is a furnished house. Your own chest of drawers beside the bed. A shared kitchen with a gas range and full size refrigerators and room for your cold and dry goods. A common room with a sofa, a shared desk and a 55 inch 4K television. An on site laundry room with a washer and a dryer, so laundry is not a weekly bus ride and a roll of quarters. One gig WiFi. A live in manager, a cleaner on site every day, and camera monitoring across the common areas and the building perimeters.

The three houses are at 1445 East 54th Street in 90011, 263 West 42nd Street in 90037 and 246 East 69th Street in 90003, all in South Los Angeles and all close to a Metro bus stop. Rent is paid by the resident, and General Relief through Los Angeles County DPSS, the DPSS Pilot Program and other third party rent assistance are accepted. The way in is a call to 562 716 4568 and a tour. There is no application to complete. A phone call and a tour are how it works.

Sharing A Room With Other Residents

You will have roommates. That is the trade that keeps the rent low and it is worth knowing before you tour rather than after. The house rules exist to make it workable. Headphones in the shared spaces, no outside visitors, and a substance free house.

  • Headphones or earbuds for devices in shared spaces
  • No outside visitors on the property
  • A live in manager on site if something needs sorting

What Moving Into A Shared Room Looks Like

It is a small move, because the room is already furnished and the utilities are already on. Most people arrive with clothes and the things that matter to them and nothing else. There is no van to hire and nothing to assemble.

  • The room is furnished before you arrive
  • Power water and gas already on
  • A chest of drawers of your own
  • First month plus the $50 registration fee and you are in
