[princess62921.livejournal.com]

Greetings,

We are a young engaged couple (both working) with no children or pets (unless you count fish) seeking a one bedroom apartment or condo for rent near Davis Square, Somerville starting September 1st. We have active Section 8.

Any interested properties please email paloffreliv@gmail.com

Craigslist. People in this LJ community generally don't have much information on available rental property.

I don't know if these are in Davis Square, but there are several apartments listed in Somerville for Section 8 families. Keep checking this page because it is updated every week or so. I used to work at this org. Good luck!! :)

You might want to look up the Trolley Square apartments. They don't have a web presence that I know of, but they're the big yellow complex on Mass Ave a few blocks away from where it hits HW 16. They're exclusively section 8, look really nice and are right next to the bike trail, along which it's a 5ish min walk to Davis Sq.

I know exactly where you are talking about and Phil and I were very interested in the property as it is ideal for where we want to be. I was unsure of mode of contact and the name. I will see what I can find now that I know the name of the property. The fact that you know its section 8 is hugely helpful. Thank you. :)

The way I found out about it being section8 was by biking down there and calling the company's number I saw in a sign on one of the doors (I think it was somewhere along the side facing Mass Ave). Unfortunately, that's the way I know of to reach them. Good luck!

Let me know if you don't have any luck finding anything. I have a few friends that work in housing and while I can't promise anything, I can make sure to ask them if they have any ideas.

Best of luck!!

Hi,

After doing some research and making some calls I was able to find out a few things. That complex is “Green” specifically built in such a way as to be environmentally friendly (Yay). It is project based which means that even if Phil and I could get a placement (no openings right now) we would have to give up the Section 8 (not going to do that). The upside is that the management company does have Section 8 approved properties in the area. Though there are none available at the moment they will begin to know about September in late July, early August. I am going to request an application to get on the waiting list. We are also going to continue to look around in the meantime. Late July, early August information with a September 1 move in seems just too close for comfort. Especially since there are no guarantees that there would be a place we would want to take. Thank you so much for pointing us in the right direction to find out this information. This is now one less property we need to wonder about.

So far we are coming up empty. Any and all ideas welcome :)
