davis_squareMy boyfriend and I are looking for our first place together!
We're looking for a 1- to 2-bed (I'd kind of like a 1.5-bed) with an eat-in kitchen, preferably in Cambridge or Somerville, starting 5/15 or 5/1. One off-street parking space would be wonderful, though it's not a requirement. Within a mile walk of the T or bus is a requirement, though, since only one of us has a car. My boyfriend would adore some kind of outdoor access, like a yard or a deck. I would adore not living in a basement apartment.
We're pretty limited financially, so I'm hoping to avoid using a realtor. I've been checking Craigslist, but so far, everything is available now or available 9/1. No doubt more things will become available, but I'm a planner, and--honestly--I'm ridiculously excited to be sharing a home with my boyfriend, so I really want to get the ball rolling.
We're also considering Medford on the Somerville side of the Mystic River and Lower Allston because we're kinda strapped for cash. And we're not limiting our search to the West and North areas of Cambridge, nor West Somerville. How easy is the commute to downtown from Arlington? What about from Watertown? Do any of you have any suggestions or know of any places?
