househunting

[ludimagist.livejournal.com]

For those of you who live around Davis Square, how long did it take you to find a place to live?

I'll be entering Tufts University as a PhD student this Fall. I plan on moving to the area and am not sure when I should really start house hunting in earnest.

Very little time

Probably several weeks at most - and that is because I did not know then everything I know now. Granted, I was looking in Februarly, when it was certainly a renter's market. The most effective way, I think is to post your interest on craigslist.com . I got more qualified e-mails and phone calls than I knew what to do with.

Best of luck.
