Two Friends Look For Roommate, But It Has To Be Flight Attendant Because The Job Ensures They Are Never Home

by Damjan

In today's hyper-connected world, where we're used to customizing everything from our playlists to our coffee orders, it's not surprising that people are also looking to tailor their living arrangements according to specific needs.

One such intriguing example recently emerged on Reddit, where a user shared a roommate advertisement that had an incredibly particular set of requirements. The ad was aimed squarely at flight attendants based in Boston, offering a small room for rent in a 4-bedroom apartment.

The catch? The ideal roommate should "NOT be home all the time."

The ad outlines a living situation in East Boston, conveniently located near Logan Airport, a critical detail for any Boston-based flight attendant. For a modest rent of $600, the new roommate would have access to a small but functional room capable of accommodating a bed and perhaps a desk or vanity.

Though not pet-friendly, the apartment is within an 8-minute walk from the Airport station and nearby various stores and eateries. The existing roommates—described as close friends who are "fun and goofy"—made it clear that they're specifically looking for someone whose work or lifestyle means they won't be home very often.

The roommates are open to a short-term summer sublet, a longer lease from September, or even an entirely different arrangement as long as the new tenant fulfills their criteria.

The post sparked a lively discussion among Reddit users who found this targeted roommate search fascinating. Read more below:

This is both insane and offensive. If they don't want a third wheel messing up their wonderful friendship, why don't they suck it up and pay higher rent?

This particular roommate posting doesn't stand alone. In large metropolitan areas, and particularly in cities with high transit activity like airports or universities, specialized living situations are far from rare.

Some people need a quiet place to study; others are looking for roommates who share their night-owl work schedules. In Boston, it's not uncommon to find housing arrangements tailored for healthcare workers, students, and, as this post indicates, flight attendants.

While some may find the idea of such specialized housing strange or restrictive, others see it as a sign of things to come. The future of shared housing may well include even more of these niche arrangements, catering to specific careers, lifestyles, or even hobbies.

Given the advantages it offers to everyone involved, it may not be long before we see more postings of this nature. So, for flight attendants based in Boston or people with similar needs for a part-time residence, this peculiar Reddit post might be pointing the way to the housing of the future.
