There's much to love about Boston's South End -- the elegant brownstones along Tremont Street, the fantastic shops and restaurants of Columbus Avenue, and the sophisticated yet collegiate feel of Harrison Avenue combine to create a tapestry of a neighborhood that offers something to everyone. This walkable, tree-filled neighborhood offers several parks, the Boston University School of Medicine, some of the best restaurants in the city, and easy access to Northeastern University.
By renting an apartment in South End Boston, you'll enjoy walking along brick-paved sidewalks past historic buildings housing everything from trendy boutiques to art galleries to the city's hottest cafes. You'll spend afternoons shopping at Copley Square and taking in sprawling greenery at Southwest Corridor Park, Blackstone Square, and beautiful Franklin Square. South End is popular with artists, and you'll discover a variety of terrific galleries to explore, especially along Harrison Avenue.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Tent City Apartments
Best location across from the Back Bay T stop and down the street from the Green Line (Copley) as well as both Back Bay and South End amenities. Very helpful maintenance staff and amenities like washer/dryer within the building. Can be noisey at times on Dartmouth St. and there are lots of kids playing in the back area of the apartments.
