Splitting Rent in St. Pete: How Far a 2-Bedroom at The Waverly Actually Goes

Splitting rent only works if the math actually works. Here's the real breakdown for our 2 bedroom / 1 bath layout, which runs $1,345–$1,575 a month depending on the specific unit and current availability.

Split two ways, that's roughly $673 to $788 each before utilities — plus a share of the separate monthly convenience fee that covers water, sewer, and trash (ask us for the current number, since it changes and we don't want to quote something stale here).

What 945 sq ft actually gets you

It's not a huge apartment, but it's a real one: two separate bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, so you're not negotiating shelf space. Central heat and air, upgraded flooring throughout, and free off-street parking for both of you.

The one thing to actually talk about first

This layout has one bathroom, not two. That's the single biggest thing to work out with a roommate before you sign — morning routines, guests, all of it. It's a normal conversation to have, but it's a much better one to have before move-in day than after.

A few other things worth agreeing on

  • How the separate utility/parking/trash fee gets split
  • Whose name(s) go on the lease, and how that affects renewal
  • Pet policy, if either of you has one — we're pet-friendly, but it's worth confirming details with our leasing team
  • A general plan for shared spaces (kitchen, living room) since there's no second living area to retreat to

None of that is meant to talk you out of it — plenty of roommate pairs make a one-bathroom two-bedroom work just fine. It just goes smoother when it's discussed up front instead of assumed.

Next step
