Boston rent comparison: What $3,500 a month rents around the city

Including in Dorchester, South Boston, and the South End

By Tom Acitelli

The sum $3,500 a month is quite a busy price point in Boston’s Thunderdome of a rental market. What’s it lease right now? Let’s find out in our latest Curbed Comparisons.

↑ We start in Dorchester’s Lower Mills area, at the 1,319-square-foot Unit B-107 at 1245 Adams Street. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms; and the rent covers a parking space.

There is also in-unit laundry and access to a gym and an indoor pool.

↑ Square in the South End is Unit 6 at 534 Massachusetts Avenue. It’s a 960-square-foot two-bedroom, one-bathroom.

There’s in-unit laundry, a private roof deck, and central AC.

↑ Unit 3A at 45 Hancock Street in Beacon Hill runs to 700 square feet. It has two bedrooms and one bathroom.

The landlord is offering $3,200 a month rather than $3,500 if a tenant moves in sooner rather than later.

↑ A large private deck with a grill and furniture—never mind an high-definition projector and a retractable movie screen—is a part of the rent at Unit G at 83-85 Brookside Avenue in the Egleston Square area between Jamaica Plain and Roxbury.

The 1,900-square-foot spread includes two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms.

↑ Unit 403 at 15 Sleeper Street is also in a border area—this time between Fort Point and the Seaport District. The 1,150-square-foot one-bedroom, one-bathroom comes with in-unit laundry and central AC.

A resident sticker is available for on-street parking.
