Boston Overview
From the vast variety selection of apartments in the Waterfront neighborhood to rentals in the historic Bunker Hill area, there's a little something for everyone in the city of Boston. This major metropolis is one of America's oldest cities, and now the 11th largest metro in the entire US. Many people know Boston as the city of 'firsts' — it's home to America's first park, first subway, and first public school. It's also home to some of the most philanthropic people in the United States, with more folks contributing to charitable causes than any other city in the US. If you're looking for a place to nurture true friendships, discover new hobbies, or grow deep roots, settling down in a Boston rental home may be the perfect next step for you.
What is the history of Boston?
Boston, MA was established in 1630 by Puritan colonists migrating from Charlestown. It was the largest of the original Thirteen Colonies and a hub of activity for the Caribbean Trade Route. After the Revolutionary War and the War of 1820, the city grew to more than 46,000 members. Locals began filling the surrounding marshes with concrete rubble in order to expand the land mass of the city. The 1970s brought a surge of economic power to Boston, which led to new hospitals, medical schools, and college expansions. Today, it's one of the largest and most important cities in America — and one of the most sought-after areas for renting a home!
How is the weather in Boston?
The weather in Boston can be somewhat unpredictable, with strong winds and cold weather blowing across the Boston Harbor. If you don't mind the winter snow (all 55 inches of it!) and the occasionally blustery spring, you're likely to enjoy Boston's mostly calm temperatures with pleasant, rainy summers and clear, crisp falls. Our summers average around 65 to 75 degrees, while our winters get down to the high 20s and low 30s. Worried about staying warm during the cooler months? Try finding a rental with an electric heater or fireplace.
How do I get around town?
If you're a big fan of walking, Boston is definitely the city for you. It's rated one of the most walkable cities in America, which means depending on where you rent, you may not need a car at all. There are plenty of trains and buses providing transport within the city, as well as a few bikeshare programs and rideshares like Uber. More than a third of all Bostonians use public transportation to get around, so if you don't have a car, you'll be in good company. What about interstate travel?Never fear! Since the Logan International Airport is just a stone's throw away, you never need to worry about out-of-town transport.

Foodies who are always looking for a bite of the best can sit down for a meal of fantastic local fare like clam chowder and lobster mac, and then kick back with a Boston cream pie for dessert. Baseball fans have access to Fenway Park which is a must-see! Have a flair for fine art? There are museums and historical landmarks aplenty. Whether you're raising a family, just starting a career, or beginning your life as a couple, Boston is the place to rent to make memories you'll never forget.
What Boston landmarks should I see?
Boston's biggest landmark is Fenway Park, which is a world-famous baseball field and home of the Boston Red Sox. The historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace is excellent for a spot of shopping, but if you're really in the mood for a good walk, the Freedom Trail may be a perfect fit. Just don't forget the Boston Harbor — no visit is complete without seeing it!
What is there to do around Boston?
When you're not spending time at one of Boston's landmarks, you may want to find some entertainment near your rental property. Walking food tours are a popular attraction, as well as day trips to Martha's Vineyard (if you're a fan of fine wine). If you can find homes to rent in Boston near these attractions, you'll never run out of fun things to do!
