Apartments in the beantown area

Long story short I'm graduating this may. I'm temporarily assigned to the boston area from Aug until mid Jan. I am looking for an apartment that is pretty close to Boston, furnished, obviously good parking, and doesn't mind I'm only in the area for a short time.

I'm being given around 1400 a month for rent.

Thanks guys

Good luck finding an unfurnished at that price, let alone furnished........

You might want to look at Arlington and Belmont

Try my friend's real estate company, they rent out a lot of apartments around that price range. If you call, his name is Jon: http://www.properrg.com/

I agree with the second poster, good luck.

By "good parking", do you mean a dedicated spot, a garage spot, lots of street parking, a driveway?

Furnished for 1400? That will be tough.

My recommendation would be to find a sublet or some other sharing scenario. If it's a 2-bed, a $2800 2-bed would be pretty nice and would probably get you what you were looking for.

Start checking places like Craigslist right now, or put up your own post on Craigslist.

I'm not looking IN boston, just the area. I have a few prospects in Waltham, maybe Watertown, and Quincy. Might even just stay around Milton. Luckily my housing allowance might actually be 1600+ so I have some leg room without dipping into my own salary.

I don't want to look around to find a spot at my own place and I dont want it to be a mad house to fear for my car's dear life. I've survived living on a college campus... would like to keep the survival rate lol.

You should be able to find a place in Boston, Somerville or Cambridge. Easily.

Unless you're expecting to "move on up" to some "apartment in the sky" (re: Prudential, Harbor Towers, etc).

I wouldn't say easily with the crumbling RE market. A lot of people are now bargain hunting and looking to rent instead of buy. The higher end rental segment is suffering though as a result.

If you look at OP's requirements, it is tough to meet at that price point (furnished with
