Been at the Victor for a few years. Great building, well maintained, and no issues with neighbors. Amenities are nice too. Highly recommend

Thanks, I love the amenities too but the 1 beds at Avenir are larger and cheaper which may be a deciding factor

We looked at the victor and loved it. It felt well maintained and the amenities were good vs competition. We were a bit nervous about YoY rent increases though. Ended up in a walk up instead

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Renting out a covered parking spot in Southie, W Broadway, close to Lincoln. DM if interested

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

If you’re hoping to find a housing deal, you’re out of luck in the short term.
Maybe if you can deal with the higher payments for the next 3 years and sell/refinance above today’s prices you’ll be ok, but this isn’t going to be pretty.
