Massachusetts Avenue, Boston Apartments
Massachusetts Avenue or "Mass Ave" is potentially the most popular street in Boston. It runs from Dorchester in Bostonnorth through Somerville and links many popular towns through-out the outskirts of Boston.y. Due to it's length and proximity to the city, apartment prices have a wide range of pricing and accessibility from $800 studios to $5,000 three bedroom apartments. Average pricing for a one bedroom apartment in Back Bay is $1600, where in Somerville it's expected to pay only $1200 for a similar unit. Luxury accomodations and short term rentals are also available on Mass Ave, particularly in BackBay and Metro Boston.
The Back Bay area of Commonwealth Ave runs parallel to Newbury Street, which is Bostons most well known shopping area for mid to high class retail stores and boutiques. Also, Not to much further away is Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox. Fenway subway stop is particularly busy during Red Sox vs. Yankees games.
Subway Access
Part of the reason of the popularity of Massachusetts Avenue is the ease in which it is to locate a subway stop. The Red Subway Line has about 20 subway stops. The Red Line runs from Braintree (and Ashmont) to Alewife, and runs until 12:30am. Subway tickets cost $2.00 per ride in cash, or $1.70 when purchasing on a Charlie Card (which is suggested since charlie cards are available at all free stops and are available to anyone).
Colleges & Universities
Massachusetts Avenue is also home to the notorious Massachusetts Institute of Technology or "MIT" on the Kendall Square T stop. It's also home to Harvard University which can be found at the Harvard Square T stop.
Finding Apartments
Finding an apartment on Massachusetts Ave is not a challenge unless you're unsure of your personal preferences. Before going on this wild goose chase, be sure to speak with a Realtor that knows the entire avenue to help determine which areas will be preferable to you. Consider things such as proximity to grocery stores, laundry facilities, where your work (employment) will be relative to your potential housing, and what sorts of people you'd like to surround yourself with. Keep in mind, higher price doesn't necessarily mean higher quality. In fact, many excellent deals can be found with a little planning. Never jump into a lease contract without considering numerous options.
