We mapped last week what that magic number of $2,500 a month rents you in Boston right this second. In some cases, it commanded a 3-BR with parking. A W/D often came standard in Boston, too. The pickings are much slimmer across the river in Cambridge, where $2,500 gets you a 2-BR at most and parking is usually extra—if it's included at all. Still, there are options.
