Greater Boston may be in the throes of the Luxury Glutpocalypse, with tons of new apartments and the tenant incentives to match, but it's still tough out there to find a decent place, right, especially given the prices? And the weather's certainly not helping those schlepping from fast-going listing to fast-going listing. But take hope: We have mapped 10 newish apartment complexes region-wide with availabilities and, in many cases, special offers such as free rent. Hopefully it helps you navigate the Thunderdome that is the Hub's rental market as its springtime fever pitch approaches.
