1. 🧺 In-Unit Washer and Dryer

The #1 requested feature by iROOMit users! Around 67% of renters and roommates say having a washer and dryer in the unit is a dealbreaker. No more awkward laundry runs in your PJs or late-night laundromat trips.

2. ❄️ Air Conditioning

From scorching summers in Dallas to stuffy NYC apartments, air conditioning is crucial. Whether it’s a window unit or central AC, this amenity is non-negotiable for most renters.

3. 🧼 Laundry in Building

Can’t get an in-unit setup? Onsite laundry still makes life easier. Plus, it usually means cheaper rent—great news if you’re renting just a room and want to keep costs down.

4. 🌐 WiFi Included

When you're sharing space, especially with a roommate, WiFi is a necessity—not a luxury. Coliving spaces often offer included high-speed internet, so everyone can Zoom, stream, and scroll in peace.

5. 🍽️ Dishwasher

No one likes arguing over dirty dishes. A dishwasher is not just an amenity—it’s a roommate relationship saver. About 18% of iROOMit users prioritize this sanity-preserving appliance.

6. 🚗 Parking Spot

If you’re driving in cities like Austin or Chicago, parking is gold. For solo renters or roommates with cars, secure or included parking can save you hundreds monthly—and countless headaches.

7. 🌞 Outdoor Space

Whether it’s a balcony, rooftop, backyard, or shared deck, outdoor space is perfect for a mental break, a morning coffee, or even a yoga session. Roughly 11% of users say it’s a must-have.

8. 🛗 Elevator Access

Nobody wants to lug groceries up five flights. Elevators are essential in taller buildings, especially for those with mobility concerns or lots of luggage. A must in walk-up-heavy cities like NYC.

9. 💪 Onsite Gym

With hybrid work and busy schedules, having a gym in the building makes working out easy and affordable. In cities like LA and Houston, this amenity is a top search feature on iROOMit.

Need space for your wardrobe, shoes, and secret snack stash? A walk-in closet adds serious storage appeal—especially in larger rentals. In Houston, nearly 36% of renters search for this.

11. 🏊 Pool

For those long, hot summers, having a pool in your building is like an everyday staycation. It’s a top amenity in cities like Atlanta, Miami, and yes—even Chicago (indoor pools, anyone?).

12. 👮 Doorman or Concierge

If you value security and convenience, a doorman can be a game-changer. Only 3% of renters actively search for this amenity, but those who do swear by the added peace of mind.

13. 💻 Home Office or Workspace

Remote jobs, freelancing, and side hustles are here to stay in 2025. A designated workspace, or even shared coworking areas, are high on the list—especially for roommates who both work from home.

14. 🐶 Pet-Friendly Features

If you're moving in with a furry friend—or sharing space with someone who has one—pet amenities like dog parks or pet wash stations can make life much easier (and cleaner!).
