April
Are you looking for a Boston apartment to start renting on 4/1? On this page, you can sign up to search for apartments across the city that will be available starting in the fourth month of the year. Oftentimes, online search engines show results for apartments that are available now and offer no way to search for units that will be available later. Boston City Properties has addressed this issue with this handy search tool. Once you have signed up, you can perform powerful searches that allow you to refine results by location, price, size and other attributes. While this isn’t the worst time of the year to find apartments in the city, this month presents some challenges. Learn more about them by reading on below.
Basic Information
Most colleges and universities are still in full swing throughout the fourth month of the year, so demand for apartments doesn’t tend to be too high. However, the weather starts getting a lot better around this time, so people are more willing to head out and look for new places to live. During the fourth month of the year, Boston experiences daily highs of around 56 degrees and daily lows of around 41 degrees. Around 2 inches of snowfall generally occurs, and there is around 3.74 total inches of precipitation. Even if the weather isn’t great for you, you can do most of your research from the comfort of home—just sign up with Boston City Properties.
When to Start
If you know that you need an apartment that you can start leasing during the fourth month of the year, you are already ahead of the game. The next step is to calculate when you should begin searching in earnest. Since this isn’t a very busy rental month in Boston, you can safely wait until 30 to 45 days before your desired move-in day to start. Begin by mid-February at the latest for best results.
Tips for Finding an Apartment in Boston
The trickiest aspect of finding an apartment to rent in Boston is having to accommodate a specific move-in date. You can easily address this issue by signing up to search by move-in month with Boston City Properties. A few additional tips to keep in mind include:
- Start sooner if looking downtown – Even during a slow month like this, you should start searching even sooner if you want to rent an apartment downtown. That’s especially true if you are in the market for a luxury apartment.
- Know what you can afford – You probably already know how much you can afford to spend on rent, but are you prepared to cover move-in costs? They can be considerable, and they often include a security deposit, first and last month’s rent and broker’s fees.
- Narrow things down – Have a specific geographical area in mind to zero in on suitable options faster. Our search tool allows you to restrict your search to the neighborhoods of your choice. You can also input your preferences for total beds and baths, total size and price range.
