Neighborhood

Allston is a densely packed, perpetually energetic town where brick apartment buildings line Commonwealth Avenue, triple-deckers fill the side streets, and the air always seems to carry the smell of something cooking. Daily errands are easy on foot, with groceries within a five-minute walk and a remarkable concentration of cafes, restaurants, and shops packed into Brighton Avenue and Harvard Avenue. The neighborhood sits just over a mile from Harvard University and Harvard Business School, with Boston University a short ride away.

The rental stock here skews toward brick mid-rise apartment communities along the main corridors, with scattered triple-deckers and the occasional single-family home on quieter blocks. Lofts, studios, and larger multi-bedroom units give renters plenty of options in Allston.
