I'm not from the USA, but I've moved around the world moving in an apartment both alone and with a roommate (alone 4 times, with roomates 3 times). I've always been very fortunate with my roommates, but I always moved with someone that I've knew for a few weeks prior (usually an ex colleague or a classmate), so it's different from your situation. Even if sometimes we had some little fights (especially during lockdown LMAO), nothing too disastrous happened because we set our boundaries from the beginning and we had an extreme respect for each other.
My suggestion: as soon as you move in with someone, set some "soft rules". Try to know each other's habits from the beginning. Do they prefer eating alone or in company? Do they stay up until late? Do they and you prefer having a set schedule for chores (I don't because I become anxious and I've never setted a schedule, but a lot of my friends have)? Do they have an active social life or do they stay home all the time? Share you habits and how you'd like to handle the cohabitation. IF YOU NEED ALONE TIME, MAKE IT CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING.
Don't be too harsh or demanding when getting to know this person(s) habits. Know that you will have to compromise something, but not everything. Be flexible and understanding and HOPEFULLY everything will go well with them.

I hope everything goes well, nonny! I'm sorry I can't help more with info more specific to the USA.

Seconded, as someone who has lived in many shared houses and flats. A little discussion at the beginning can really help set people’s expectations and avoid many conflicts.
