Belated follow-up with a happy ending: I did wind up finding a roommate through this site in the end. Sometimes local is best! Thanks all.
For anyone else who is looking, although craigslist does get responses, I had the best "almosts" through two sites - spareroom.com and roomies.com. (Roommates.com was not worth the $, and you can do very little with a free account.)

Hello all. I did post an ad here, but do people have any recommendations for roommate sites they've used? I've posted a bunch of places (craigslist, roommates.com, etc.) and not having much luck. I don't have much of a circle of friends in Jersey, and I'm not on social media, so word of mouth hasn't really helped.
My housemate had to move out unexpectedly in January due to a death in the family and I would really like to stay in Maplewood, but everything is so expensive since the pandemic. Need to remain near my job in Springfield. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
