When to Search

Boston is a tough market to find an apartment in, so you want to start early. Early summer is when you're going to find the most available inventory, and is really when you want to hit the ground running. Do you best to look in a place before August, or you will find that your options are dwindling fast. Searching for an apartment can be tough. That's why we scour the web to get all best listings around town. And our team of local experts verify the quality and accuracy of those listings to make sure that you have the best prices, images and information available. So unlike searching for an apartment on Craigslist, you can be sure that Rentable’s apartment listings are safe, trustworthy and accurate.

Staying in the Know

Apartment hunting in Boston is cutthroat and competitive. One very good way into a building is to get a reference from someone already living there. If you have a friend who has a good existing relationship with a landlord, their good word could carry a lot of weight when you're applying for an apartment.
