Off-campus apartments
near Harvard University.

Harvard’s official directions distinguish Harvard Yard in Cambridge from its Allston and Longwood campuses in Boston. Give us your school, building and entrance so your apartment search follows the trip you will actually make.

Talk with our rental team

Tell us about your
off-campus search.

Use your message to name Harvard University, the actual campus or class address, your monthly budget, bedrooms and move-in date. If you are sharing, include how many people will live in the home.

Add laundry, parking, pet, furnishing or access needs. If you have an apartment address or building in mind, send it so the team can discuss that home rather than a campus-wide promise.

This is an inquiry to Amo Realty - Boston City Properties, not a university housing office. It does not apply for a home, reserve an apartment or confirm university or landlord approval.

Harvard University housing.
Start with the address.

Harvard Square or Allston?

The original guide centered on Harvard Square and Harvard Yard, while noting Harvard Business School in Allston. These are different sides of the Charles River. Compare the walk, any river crossing and transit from the apartment to your actual destination.

Longwood is a separate daily trip

If your classes, research or clinical work are in Longwood, use that address rather than assuming a Harvard Square apartment is nearby. Our Harvard Medical School housing guide is a separate starting point for that location. Send any second campus you regularly need to reach.

The apartment and your routine

Check the details
you will live with.

The original search also included Somerville and other Cambridge neighborhoods. Compare studio or shared-apartment layouts, work space, laundry and stairs rather than an old citywide price range. A condo offered by one owner is different from a managed rental community.

The full rental quote

Ask for rent, lease start and end dates, utilities, recurring charges and payments due before moving in. Check the actual bedrooms, shared space and written lease requirements rather than relying on an old advertised price.

Thinking about buying a condo?

Talk with our buying team about your purchase budget, timing and intended use. Ask about condominium rules, costs and any future rental restrictions. Buying does not guarantee investment returns or a tenant after graduation.
