looking for an apartment

[so828.livejournal.com]

I, along with some friends, am looking for a 3-4 bedroom apartment near Davis Sq.  We are all grad students and are looking for a place under $1800 if 3 bedroom and or under $2400 if 4 bedroom.  One of us lives in Somerville currently and is available to look at places this weekend.  The rest of us are moving up from Asheville, North Carolina.  Thanks for your help!

If I were from Asheville, I would not want a rich suburb, so Newton is not a good match.

There's an active rental market in Newton, which is a bit more diverse than you're giving it credit for being. For someone who's not trying to commute to Tufts, Newton could be a very good match. Newtonville, West Newton, and the other areas near the Watertown border are good places to look.

To the OP, if you have people in your household who will be commuting to both Tufts and Harvard, I'd suggest looking at Porter Square and environs. It's convenient to both campuses on foot, in the car, or on public transportation. All hail the 96 bus!
