At the Webster Apartments

I guess there must be different rules for "boarding houses" as normally you'd have all kinds of trouble if you restricted housing based on age, marital status, and gender.

It's possibly a contributing factor to the housing crisis that very few places like this still exist. It seems to be a more affordable way to live than to have to rent a fully isolated studio or 1-bedroom apartment as a single person and have to shop for food and prepare meals.

It's interesting that the view was "you've got 5 years to find yourself a husband". I suspect the entire concept was insanely progressive at the time -- a girl who moves away from her father and lives independently?!
