Hi. I’m thinking about renting my place in Boston and am trying to figure out the price. It’s in the south end, and it’s a newer condo. It’s 1 bed + den. Downside is that there are not very many amenities (only have a shared roof deck). Full amenity units in nearby buildings are in the $4200+ range, so I was thinking $3800 or so. Is that unreasonable since I don’t have a pool/gym/game room?

Definitely not an unreasonable price to rent this size unit for in the south end!

I lived in Boston so I think $3000-3500 would be better. I’d there is only a $400 difference between getting a pool and a gym…I would go for the $4,200 apartment.

I live in a 600sq ft condo in the south end 1 bed 1 bath brand new construction with concierge, small gym and shared roof deck pay $3k.

Honestly I think you could get $4k

We pay $3850 for a large 1 bedroom. No amenities. Comes w a parking spot. Back bay. I think you could get at least that because of the extra den space & rooftop access.

Does it come with an off street parking spot? I’d find that more worth some $ than a gym.

It did at one point but not currently. There is an option to rent a spot nearby for $325/month (we got preferential rates because of our garage fiasco-most garages nearby are closer to $500).

What's the sq footage

750ish sq ft. So it’s a larger 1 bed. It also has 2 walk-in closets and a separate laundry area (not in the bathroom)

comps in the south end are going for ~$70 per sqft in a full service building. with that in mind a 1+ den around 750 sqft can go for $4375 (12 month lease). I think for a for a newer condo with rooftop you can get ~$60 per sqft. so yes, I think $3750-3800 is reasonable! let me know if you need help listing :)

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
