Hi there,

I will be moving to Boston with my wife and our two year old. I will be working in Cambridge (Kendall/MIT being the closest transit stop). I was wondering what would be some good places to live when our budget is about 4000 USD/mo. Ideally we would like to have access to a garden, but not being too far from the city. Any advice gratefully received.

    I’m hoping to relocate to the Boston area sometime SoonTM and this is a great future resource for me!

    With respect to rental agents — is this something where individuals have to seek them out ourselves, or will the landlord of any particular rental unit point applicants towards their preferred agent/agency?

      You’ll generally find an agent and let them show you around. The only places that work with preferred agents are the really big properties with dozens or hundreds of units. Even then you can work with your own agent, but if you go for new luxury towers that are working on getting leased up they’ll often cover the fee.
