Live with people who care about what you care about.
Founder houses, artist residencies, athlete homes, music collectives. Subletter is the marketplace for shared living organized around what you do — not just where you sleep.
Eight categories. Pick one.
Founders
Builders, hackers, YC alumni — wake up next to people shipping.
Artists
Painters, illustrators, ceramicists — shared studio access.
Researchers
AI/ML, biotech, climate — long whiteboards, longer dinners.
Athletes
Runners, climbers, cyclists — early mornings, gear walls.
Musicians
Studios on-site, instruments shared, no noise complaints.
Writers
Quiet hours, weekly readings, coffee on tap.
Climate & sustainability
Plant-forward kitchens, low-waste rules, garden plots.
LGBTQ+ friendly
Explicitly affirming houses across every interest above.
Move in already knowing your people.
Shared interest, baked in
Move into a house where day one already feels like month six. Conversations, not introductions.
Built-in calendar
Weekly demo nights, studio visits, long-table dinners — most community houses run a recurring rhythm.
Curated by a host
Every community house has a steward who screens for fit. Vibe is the product.
Flexible stays welcome
Many community houses accept 1–3 month residencies. Try the life before you commit.
Run a house with a point of view.
You've already built a culture. Now find members who deserve the seat at the table — without giving up control.
Find people, not tenants
List once. Subletter routes interested members from the city you're in.
Set the bar
Approve every chat. Run an interview. Decline anyone who isn't a fit. No fairness algorithm to fight.
Premium pricing for premium experience
Curated houses earn meaningfully more per room than generic listings.

Live the life
Move in. Show up to the rituals. Become alumni.
What people ask first.
