Commonwealth
What's it like to live in Commonwealth?
Historic elegance defines Commonwealth Avenue, where impressive brownstones line this grand boulevard featuring a central mall designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Residents enjoy both architectural prestige and the practical benefits of living along one of Boston's primary east-west connections providing both shopping access and transportation options. Though some buildings show their age with vintage quirks requiring maintenance knowledge beyond typical renter experience, the trade-off comes in high ceilings, ornate woodwork, and architectural details unavailable in newer construction. The neighborhood's proximityto Fenway Park, the Charles River Esplanade, and multiple universities creates ideal location for both cultural experiences and recreational opportunities despite urban density.

Allston
What's it like to live in Allston?
Student energy defines Allston, where this Boston neighborhood houses much of the city's academic population with particular concentrations from Boston University and Harvard. Rental options include apartments in traditional Boston triple-deckers and larger buildings throughout this vibrant district. The neighborhood offers exceptional access to both campus facilities and the developing Brighton Avenue corridor, though September 1st lease turnover creates intense competition with advance planning essential for securing quality housing.

What's it like to live in Mission Hill?
Mission Hill bridges academic energy with historic architecture in this distinctive Boston neighborhood adjacent to multiple colleges and medical centers. Renters find diverse housing options from converted brownstones to modern apartments, with exceptional transit connectivity to downtown. Student influence creates some seasonal patterns affecting the community rhythm, but for medical professionals, graduate students, and those seeking urban connectivity without downtown prices, Mission Hill delivers remarkable value with Boston's definitive neighborhood character beyond purely undergraduate-dominated housing.
