Moving to Boston - Suggestions
Hello all,
I know this topic has been asked before but I couldn't find any that really matched my description so bear with me as I ask again.
I am moving to Boston in January for a consulting gig and am needing suggestions on where to live. I am willing to spend a little more $1500-2700 month for an apartment, have a nicer new car so parking is a concern, and like to go out to nightclubs/bars on the weekends. I like hanging out with boujier women so that is a concern as well lol. Based on this description, can any Boston people give me suggestions on where to live?
I have heard from future coworkers that the South End is a nightlife/fun area as well as Back Bay/Beacon Hill. What would you all suggest?
Thanks guys.
If you want something new construction (concierge building) with garage parking and possibly some city views for under 3k a month you will need to look in East Cambridge. It is on the green line so easy access to back bay, kendall square, beacon hill, north end, fenway.
Also consider North Brookline, it is the most affluent part city/suburb of Boston (North is the city part and has green line access and more parking because there is no on-street overnight parking there). You are close to back bay which is nice.
Washington Square (Brookline) has lots of restaurants and there are young people and older people living in the area. No clubs in Brookline though.
Parking in Back Bay/FiDi will run you 300-500 a month. I paid 375 at a new construction building with 3200 in rent for a 660sqft place near Chinatown/FiDi.
Back Bay, South End and Beacon hill will have rich ladies since they love the character of the old buildings. Not all of the south end is equal. Northern part is much better than the southern part especially near Mass Ave and Boston Medical(stay away from here.)
If you want to walk home after a night out - back bay, south end and beacon hill are for you just don't expect a nice place.
I would suggest you determine how much you like your car, apartment size and location near clubs. If you have any questions feel free to ask. My wife is a realtor and I have lived all over Boston.
Born and raised in Boston so you must know Tom Brady is who I worship to. In order for me to provide thoughtful suggestions, would you mind providing more information on the following:
Based on OP, Back Bay / Newbury Street area is probably the best area for you. You are 10 minute walk to Boston Common (Boston's version of Central Park but 5x smaller). Newbury street has high end stores, festive during the holidays and good restaurants/bars so if you want to "close the deal" (obviously meant a consulting engagement), this is a prime spot. You are a 15 minute uber ride to get to Seaport / FiDi area and a 10 minute uber ride to the popular night clubs in downtown Boston.
