Are you moving out of your awesome apartment?

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

I'm looking to move Sept 1 (aug 1 if I can finagle it), but I have to let my landlord know by May 1. I haven't moved in a few years but from what I am hearing this year will go from bad to brutal. If you are moving out of a great apartment 1 bedroom apartment with parking - within a mile or two of davis (east arlington, north cambridge, medford, spring hill, ball sq, powderhouse, my beloved teele!!!, etc) I would appreciate any leads.

Thanks!

Good luck, and man, please don't hesitate to post if you stumble on some amazing hidden apartment cache! My boyfriend and I are looking to move within the area this year too, despite just moving to Davis last Sept. 1st. We only had a month's notice to get out of our Back Bay apartment, and thought we ended up with a great location on the Bike Path, it's crazy expensive! I wish Craigslist wasn't so bloated by the same three Apartment Rental Experts listings posted over and over again...

Good luck! Yes, I COULD NOT AGREE MORE with the APXpert posts. It drive me 100% crazy. I've never had to pay a fee, but this might be the first year.

Yeah, I found an amazing two and a half bedroom apartment for $1350/month with Apartment Rental Experts. They were really helpful when we were looking.

Where?! That's unbelievably amazing!

Union Square. We don't have amenities like a dishwasher, reserved parking, or free laundry, but it's a really great place in a great location and our landlord is super responsive and easy to get a hold of when we have any problems. We can even see the whole Boston skyline from our kitchen- including the fireworks on the 4th of July.

While we are on the topic, what is the going rate for a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom in the Davis Square area with typical amenities (parking, disposer, dish washer, laundry, not crazy landlord)?

Those are typical amenities?

[littlecitynames.livejournal.com]

Not trying to be snarky, sorry! I'm just genuinely curious because I've only ever apartment hunted as someone looking for the cheapest place, so I didn't realize that a disposer and dishwasher were typical, for example.

They are not unfortunately. I was being a little sarcastic. But I'd still like to know how much a place like that might go for....

[kazbotch.livejournal.com]

With all of that, probably $1500 if you're within a few blocks of the square...that was my experience.

ours is 1650 but it is a loft and has laundry in unit

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

Hi. I dunno if you're still looking, but if so a close friend of mine is renting theirs in Medford Square.
It's a really nice place
