Basic Information
Several factors converge to make the seventh month of the year among the most difficult to find apartments in Boston. Availability tends to be low in general because September-to-September and June-to-June leases tend to be pretty ubiquitous. However, some specialized school programs in the area start up again during this month, so there is also typically a bump in demand during this time. Weather isn’t really a problem because daily highs average 81 degrees and daily lows average 65 degrees. The city also gets around 3.43 inches of rain around this time of year.
When to Start
If you need a Boston apartment to rent starting in the seventh month of the year, plan on starting pretty early. While it’s not quite as challenging as finding one with September availability, it is still a tall order. Generally speaking, you should start searching in earnest within 60 to 90 days of your desired move-in date. At the absolute latest, then, you should begin around mid-to-late April. That applies if you’re looking for apartments in outer neighborhoods; if you’re looking downtown, you should start even earlier still. Note that competition for luxury apartments downtown is particularly fierce.
Tips for Finding an Apartment in Boston
One of the biggest challenges of finding an apartment in Boston is getting the timing right. You can search for what you need by move-in date on this page, and that will give you a big leg up on the competition. Here are a few more tips to keep in mind regarding Boston apartment hunting:
- Start earlier if looking downtown – If you want to rent an apartment in Back Bay, Midtown or another popular downtown area, it pays to start even sooner. Many of the most popular developments have long wait lists, so it is smart to get the ball rolling as early as you can.
- Be ready to act quickly – With any luck, you are already in metro Boston and will be around to look at apartments as needed. If you’re not in the area currently, this could pose problems. Additionally, be prepared to pounce when a suitable place opens up because it could easily slip through your fingers.
- Get specific about locations – Try to select at least one or two specific neighborhoods on which to focus your search. You can then limit your search to those areas when performing a search on this page.
