In the meantime, read on for helpful tips about finding Boston apartments for the sixth month of the year.

Basic Information

While the September 1st cycle is a prominent fixture in the Boston rental market, June-to-June leases are also fairly common. As a result, this month has the second-highest turnover rate of the year—and that means that you’ll face a lot of competition for apartments regardless of where you’re looking in the city. The sixth month of the year is when really nice weather begins, with daily highs averaging 76 degrees and daily lows averaging 60 degrees. Around 3.66 inches of precipitation falls during this month, but it’s typically in the form of short-lived rainstorms.

When to Start

With any luck, you have given yourself some time to hunt for a Boston apartment that will be ready starting on the first day of the sixth month of the year. As a general rule, you should begin your search anywhere from 60 to 90 days before your desired move-in date, so you should start by no later than mid-April. If you are coming from out of town, it is also crucial to be available to check out apartments that will be available when the time comes. Otherwise, you could miss out on some great opportunities. Also note that if you need an apartment downtown, you should start even earlier.

Tips for Finding an Apartment in Boston

By availing yourself of Boston City Properties’ convenient search by move-in date feature, you can quickly determine future availability for apartments that suit your requirements. Some additional things to keep in mind include:

• Establish a reasonable budget – Be conservative when coming up with a budget for how much you can afford to spend on monthly rent, and leave some wiggle room for utilities and incidentals like pet rent. Keep in mind that move-in costs can be considerable and may include first and last month’s rent, a security deposit and broker’s fees.
• Choose a specific neighborhood – Our search tool allows you to limit your search to specific Boston neighborhoods. Do some research to determine a neighborhood or two on which to focus your search. We can refer you to a local real estate agent who can point you in the right direction.
• Be available – Given that this is the second-busiest month for Boston apartment rentals, it’s particularly important to be ready and available to check out units when the time comes. You should also be ready to spring when a suitable place presents itself.
