LMU rooms for rent in Westchester: what's open right now

If you're looking for LMU rooms for rent in Westchester, here's where things stand this week: the listings near LMU that are marked as rent by the room are all at Inglewood addresses, so this post covers those along with one Westchester listing for comparison. Everything comes from our LMU off-campus housing page, with each listing's price, lease and timing taken from the listing itself.

Renting a room instead of a whole unit is often the simplest way to live off campus, especially if you don't have roommates lined up. You usually sign for your own space, share the kitchen and living areas, and avoid being responsible for filling empty bedrooms. The catch is that what counts as a room varies a lot from one listing to the next, so read each one closely.

Here are three listings near LMU marked as rent by the room, plus one comparison. Condo Near LMU at $2,800/month is a furnished private room in a 2 bed, 2 bath condo at 805 Glenway Dr in Inglewood, listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus, on a Year Lease (12 Months), with a timing of 9/1/2026. Stunning New 2-bedroom 2-Bathroom at $3,995/month is a furnished private room in a 2 bed, 2 bath house at 212 W 64th St in Inglewood, listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car, on a Year Lease (12 Months), with a timing of Available Now. Entire 3Bedroom/2Bathroom House at $1,750/month is an unfurnished 3 bed, 2 bath house at 4045 1/2 W 107th St in Inglewood, listed as more than 15 minutes by car, with a lease of 3-6 months with option to renew lease and a timing of Sept 2026 - Feb 2027. For comparison, 8037 Kenyon Ave at $1,100/month is a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath listing at a Westchester address, listed as under 5 minutes by car, on a Year Lease (12 Months), with a timing of Available ASAP. It isn't marked as rent by the room.

What the current room listings near LMU offer

The three room listings differ mainly in distance, furnishing and lease length. Two are furnished and on 12-month leases; one is unfurnished and offers 3 to 6 months with an option to renew. By car, they range from 5 to 10 minutes for the house on W 64th St to more than 15 minutes for the house on W 107th St, so if you'll be driving to class every day, that difference adds up over a semester.

Because these listings are marked rent by the room, the listed price is meant to be for a room. The two furnished rooms are listed at $2,800/month and $3,995/month, which is more than the other listings in this post, so it's worth confirming with each lister exactly what that price includes, such as a private bathroom, utilities, parking or furniture. The house on W 107th St is listed at $1,750/month, but its title describes the entire house while the listing is marked as a private room, so ask whether that price is for one room or for the whole house before you compare it with the others.

The comparison listing on Kenyon Ave is at a Westchester address and listed as under 5 minutes by car, at $1,100/month. It's a 1 bed, 1 bath and isn't marked as rent by the room, so ask the lister whether it's a self-contained unit or a room in a shared home. If you mainly want to be close to campus, it's worth a message alongside the room listings.

Before you message anyone, have a short introduction ready: when you'd like to move in, how long you plan to stay, and a little about your schedule. Someone renting out a room in a shared home will want a sense of who they'd be living with, and a clear first message makes it easier for them to answer you quickly. If none of these fit, check back regularly, since new room listings can be posted at any point in the semester.

LMU rooms for rent in Westchester: what to check first

When you compare LMU rooms for rent in Westchester and the nearby Inglewood options, start with the address and the drive time. A listing's title can mention LMU without being in Westchester, so check the street address on each listing and the Distance by Car field, then decide how much drive time you're willing to accept for a lower or higher rent.

Next, pin down exactly what you'd be renting. Ask whether you'd have your own bathroom, how many other people live there, which rooms are shared, and whether the person you'd be renting from lives on site. For a room in a shared house or condo, it also helps to ask about house rules on guests, quiet hours, cleaning and parking, since those shape your day-to-day life more than the furniture does.

Finally, check the dates. One listing gives a range of Sept 2026 - Feb 2027, another starts 9/1/2026, and another says Available Now. Where a date has already passed, ask what start and end dates would apply if you signed today, and whether a shorter remaining term changes the rent. Make sure those dates are written into whatever you sign.

Tips for renting a room near LMU

• Confirm in writing whether the listed price is for one room or the whole place, and what it includes, such as utilities, parking and a private bathroom.

• Check each listing's street address and drive time by car, rather than relying on the title, before you decide how far is too far.

• Ask how many people share the home and what the house rules are for guests, quiet hours, cleaning and shared spaces.

• Tour the room in person or by live video and read the full agreement, including the exact dates and deposit terms, before you pay anything.
