There's two of us and we're paying $1350 per month, total, for a 6 room apartment (3 br, 1 kitchen, 1 family room, 1 "office" room) and we're a 15 minute walk from the Davis Square Redline T stop. Before that we were paying $1450 to live in Somerville.
Yes, it's not living in actual Boston, but we're close to everything we need to be close too (i.e. could get by sans car). In the DC area, a similar place in Fairfax or Arlington would be over 2k per month. In SF, we were looking at 2.5k bare minimum for much less spacious places.
- menloparkbum 18y agoWow, that seems crazy, even for Arlington (that is Arlington out there, right?). I was paying $1650/m to live in a (nice) 1BR on Franklin St. in Cambridge... and I thought I was getting a good deal. I moved into a share in Allston for my final year to save more money. I wonder what my old place rents for now.
- fallentimes 18y agoJust to clarify I meant Arlington & Fairfax, Virginia. Arlington & Fairfax are to DC what Somerville & Cambridge are to Boston. Technically not part of the city, but very accessible.
- menloparkbum 18y agoyeah, i thought 15min walk from davis was arlington MA, but I guess that's more like an hour's walk.
