Renting a flat in Boston

Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States and a major centre for universities, hospitals and biotech. Housing is often in brick row houses and triple-deckers, and the September lease cycle driven by students shapes the rental market.

Areas to look at

  • Back Bay: brownstones, shopping on Newbury Street
  • South End: Victorian row houses and restaurants
  • Beacon Hill: historic, gas lamps and cobbled lanes
  • Cambridge: across the river, Harvard and MIT
