Watertown, MA Apartments for Rent

Renting an apartment in Watertown, MA gives you access to a town that's well-connected to Boston and offers a mix of convenience and local charm. Oakley and Watertown Square are two neighborhoods renters often explore. Watertown Square is ideal for those who want quick access to public transportation, with commuter bus routes and amenities close by. Oakley is more residential, offering quieter surroundings while still having nearby shops and parks. If you’re commuting to Boston or Cambridge, you can typically expect a 20–40 minute drive, depending on traffic, or use the MBTA buses for a convenient trip.

Apartment options in Watertown range from older buildings with character to updated complexes with modern touches. You’ll also find many rentals near bike paths, the Charles River, and shopping centers such as Arsenal Yards. Whether you want a home close to restaurants and grocery stores or something with a little more outdoor access, you can find a range of options to suit your daily needs.

Watertown combines the perks of living near a major city with a more relaxed pace. The area is home to a mix of small businesses, big-name retail, and green spaces like the Charles Riverwalk. With its proximity to Boston and its slightly more affordable rent compared to nearby cities, Watertown is a practical choice for those looking to live within reach of work, entertainment, and outdoor recreation.
