Check apartments.com too and then directly connect with the leasing office . Broker fees are not very common outside of main Boston area

Get ready for first month, last month, security deposit (1-2 months), and broker’s fee (1 month) if you’re trying to live in the most desirable areas, i.e., Boston proper (South End, Back Bay, Seaport, etc.) or Cambridge (Harvard, Central, Porter, etc.) / Somerville / Brookline, etc.

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!
