Questions

Answers, not brochure copy.

The things people actually ask before they give up an evening to come and look at an apartment.

Is the apartment still available?

Unit 3, the top floor, is available now. It is a 4 bed, 2 bath apartment taking the whole floor. Unit 2, on the second floor, has been taken. Ask us for the rent and we will tell you the same day. Listings for this address on other sites are out of date, so this page is the one to go by.

What is due when I sign?

First month's rent and a one month security deposit. We confirm the full move-in figure in writing before anything is signed.

How quickly do you reply?

The same day. The apartments are empty, so showings are easy to arrange and we can usually get you in within the week.

Can four students rent it together?

Yes. Students are welcome and guarantors or co-signers are completely normal for a group lease. There are four real bedrooms, so nobody is sleeping in a living room.

Do you accept housing vouchers?

Yes. We accept housing vouchers and assess affordability on your share of the rent only, as Massachusetts law requires. We do not screen on source of income.

Is parking included?

Yes, one off-street space is included in the rent at no extra charge. That is rare in Jamaica Plain.

Who pays the utilities?

Water and sewer are included in the rent. You pay gas and electricity. The building is new and well insulated, with gas-fired forced air heat.

Is the laundry in the apartment?

Yes, there is a full-size washer and dryer inside the apartment. No basement, no shared machines and no coins.

Are pets allowed?

Cats are welcome, and so are small and medium dogs. Tell us about your animal when you enquire and we will confirm.

How far is the T?

Green Street on the Orange Line is the closest stop and Stony Brook is the next one along, both a short walk. From Green Street it is four stops to Ruggles, six to Back Bay and nine to Downtown Crossing.

Why does the furniture look different in some photographs?

Nine of the photographs are virtually staged, meaning furniture was added digitally so you can judge the scale of the rooms. They are labeled. The apartment is delivered completely empty and nothing structural was altered in the images.

Can I see it before it is available?

Yes. We show it daily, including evenings and weekends, and it is empty so there is no tenant to work around. Ask for a time and we will usually get you in the same week.
