I built SubletCentral to answer the two most important housing questions for young adults: where do I want to live, and who do I want to live with? Currently, students rely on platforms like Airbnb, Facebook, Snapchat, or word of mouth, but after doing some user research, I learned these options often fail to offer apartments close to campus or suited to student requirements.

The app is specifically designed to simplify the process for UW students, and eventually become the central housing marketplace for America’s 21M college students. We are starting by allowing college students to legally sublease the apartments they are paying for but not living in this summer to other students seeking short-term housing in other cities. This application was built using React with a FireBase Realtime DB in the backend.
