Jesse McLaughlin has been crowned the 3rd annual Roommate of the Year by Apartments.com! By submitting his video entry Roommating MVP, this Arlington, VA resident is walking away with the Grand Prize of FREE Rent for a Year, $10,000 in cash, roommate bragging rights and more!


Reporting his roommate repertoire like a sports analogy in a witty voiceover, McLaughlin's entry highlights scenarios that vary from him making bananas foster to performing a two minute clean-up drill that he practiced all week (including instant replay), scoring high marks with both fans and Apartments.com.


Additionally, Apartments.com is thrilled to announce the four runner-up winners you see framed above. They will each receive $500 and the satisfaction that they, too, are tops in the roommate arena!
