The nearby Southwest Corridor Park and community garden really put the "green" and "park" in this 3-BR, 3.5-BA at 17 Greenwich Park, which is listed for rent beginning in November for $8,700 a month. Or, if you're more the houseplant type, the townhouse, just off Columbus Avenue in the South End, has loads of natural light and 2,400 square feet of sunny space across three levels. Come to think of it—never mind all that. According to the listing, said living space includes a "family room with wet bar; could be au pair suite." Does that mean the live-in help gets to help him or herself to the liquor cabinet? Pretty suite deal. — Rachel Lebeaux
