On Craigslist I keep finding 2br apartments for 750 and and 3br for 800-900 dollars but every time I search for a room in an apartment with roommates they're all 500-700 dollars.
Why?

solitude is expensive
no idea. You could rent apartment yourself then look for a roommate to share the costs with, if everyone is overpricing you should be able to find one out easily. Or you could just look for a roommate first and then rent an apartment with him/her. Surely there's some place online where you can find people who look for roommates in your area.

I'll tell you. Those ads on Craigslist are more than likely scams. What city do you live in? I'd bet anything those ads are way below market average in your city.

Person looking for a roommate is tryig to profit off you while helping themselves.

Well a couple cities like Atlanta and Chicago and they're mostly in or around the ghetto so I think they're legit and I see a lot of them and it seems to be about correctly priced

it's this. they want you to pay their house payment and taxes. or more than your fair share of rent. or they are covering all of the bills and have averaged that extra amount out to be your share.
