Howdy!

I am looking for a female student to take over my lease at Holleman Crossing for the 2026–2027 school year. I signed my lease this summer, but I recently accepted an offer to attend veterinary school in New York and will no longer be living in College Station.

Apartment Details:

  • 2 bed / 2 bath (B2 floor plan)
  • Fully furnished
  • Lease term: August 15, 2026 – July 21, 2027
  • I have not moved into the apartment, so the room is completely untouched

My future roommate is a friendly, clean, and respectful Texas A&M master’s student. She has two cats and is great to live with.

I am happy to provide more information, answer questions, or connect interested individuals with my roommate. If you are interested in taking over the lease, please send me a message!

Thank you!

This furnished studio is a TINY 300sqft converted garage. It is "kitchenette" style rather than full kitchen (short fridge, hot plate, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig - no oven/stove), a queen bed (which takes up most of the studio space), and a small folding leaf table with two office chairs. The "kitchenette" is really just a wall with cookware, dishes, sink, and the kitchen appliances noted. Storage space is minimal.Bathroom is toilet, sink, and shower. Flooring is laminate with some rugs. The garage was redone this winter so a lot of things are relatively new.

 

The studio has a dedicated internet line- your use only.

 

It's quieter (we are midtown but you don't share a wall - it is a detached garage) in the garage is off an alley running east to west- so though Plumas is busy, you have a bit of a buffer from the street noise. You have one dedicated parking space off street and a little table outside for your use - outside space is desert landscape (some plants and lots of weeds)

 

This is midtown close to Mt Rose Street- south of downtown and about 3miles from UNR main campus.

 

We are queer and neurodivergent friendly.

 

If you want a furnished tiny quiet spot for one person this place might be it!
