    Hello Everyone! For some weird reason, some of the comments that I replied to are not showing up here. There are a few people who asked why I chose Boston over NYC and I can gladly make a video about that in the future! I appreciate all of your support. Please comment below on any questions or concerns that you have about life in Boston!

    Boston is great, but many of the apartment buildings are older with tight hallways and narrow staircases. This can be problematic if you've got a bunch of large furniture that you're trying to move in. The North End, Beacon Hill, and Bay Village can be particularly problematic in this regard. Just something for folks to keep in mind.

    Love all your videos, super helpful as we are moving soon ❤ Question.. why do so many rental listings have multiple agents. I assumed each listing would just have one agent 🤔

      That's actually a really good question! I know sometimes if it's listed with an agency there could be different agents posting the same one. But since I don't work in real estate I'm not too sure!

      Listings are put out on MLS most of the time so any realtor can show it and split fees with original broker / office. Initially it may stay with one office for a week or so but then they open it up to all so they can rent it faster

    Thanks for this information. I'm sure that many people prefer to live close to Boston, but is it less expensive as you get father away from city, and more into the suburbs of Massachusetts?

      Typically yes

      Prices do drop the further away you are from Boston, but even the closer suburbs north and south of Boston are still pretty expensive now with most 1 bedrooms over the $2,000 mark. You best option for affordability is to look to the suburbs west of Boston, and even there you'll likely have to go out 30+ miles before prices become more affordable. Like in the Worcester area for example. The good news is that MA has a commuter train that goes all the way out to Worcester, MA (2nd biggest city in MA) that connects you to downtown Boston.

    Hi, my name is Glorya an international incoming graduate student at Boston University for fall 2024. Currently I am looking for a housing in Boston and I found your video. I am planning to bring my family with me; my husband and a son. I would like to ask for your help to recommend housing that meets my situation. Thank you so much for your help.
