I'm not sure what you mean by "appropriate listings", but there
is an office on Harvard Street in Brookline called "Matching Roomates."
They charge a fixed rate for you to come in and peruse their files
of "housing available, roommates wanted" listings. It's a little
like a dating service--registrants include such details as their sex,
occupation, hobbies, eating/smoking habits, tolerance for noise, etc.,
etc. When you find somebody you like, you make the 'match' on your
own. If you already have a house/apartment and are looking for
roommates, the registration is free.
I know a couple of people who did well with this agency.

I must clarrify my initial wording in the base note:
Non-drinker = drinks socially in moderation, not a "lush"
My cousin thought my wording "non-smoker & non-drinker" would be
construed to mean a homebody that's no fun. It's been a while since
I was 24 yrs. old and single...........so excuse my "misrepresentation"

Hi,
Harvard Hillel also maintains a notebook full of listings of people
--both grad students and working folk--seeking roommates/rooming
situations. If she has special needs (for example, if she'd like a
kosher apartment) that would be listed as well. They're at 74 Mount
Auburn Street in Cambridge.
Synagogue bulletin boards might also be a good place to look...
