commercial real estate help?

[intuition-ist.livejournal.com]

Friend of mine is looking very hard for a not-insanely-expensive small office space (~300 sq. ft, approximately, though the size needed will vary with the shape of the space) near Davis or nearby on the red line. Craigslist seemed like a useful answer, but the options he's seen there are skeevy or expensive or both.

Most of what I can find online requires signing up for some service to get details, or is commercial real estate for sale, not lease (i.e., yes, I've tried Google, and I get nothing useful).

What brokers/agencies can you recommend to find some decent small-office commercial listings that don't cost multiple thousands per month?


- about 300 square feet
- not in a basement (i.e., not somewhere likely to flood when bad weather hits)
- shared bathroom is ok
- windows capable of holding an air conditioner
- at least one 12 ft stretch of smooth wall
- within a few blocks of a red line t-stop (davis, porter, harvard, central)
- under $1500/month

The building the Porter Sq Post Office is in has a sign "Office Space for Rent 617 547-7031". I've been in there, and it's smaller offices on the scale you're talking. No idea the rent (if your friend checks it out I'd be most grateful if he were to pass back that intel) or even if the sign lies.
