Apartment Deals of the Week!

October 14th, 2011

So every week I’m going to take a break from the news and interesting stuff all over the city to actually talk about apartments. Specifically, what we think are the hottest deals available. Here’s what I think is hot this weekend.

Studios are always in short supply. Your roommate turns out to be a slob (or an OCD who thinks you are a slob). You and your girlfriend break up. Your group of seven gets into a big fight and can’t stand each other. People are always looking for a studio, and they’re usually hyperventilating when they realize that their monthly rent is probably going to go up to about 180% of what they’re used to paying if they live alone.

So, cheap studios are in even shorter supply. If you want to pay under $1000 a month, you’re probably going to get a closet. Just saying. But sometimes, that’s what you’re going to have to live in, and be happy you found one. We’ve just found a couple pretty good options, though.

First, the ultra-budget studio. It’s an emergency lease break on South Huntington Ave. That’s the road the E-line turns left onto when it leaves Huntington Ave at the end. The brownstones on either side of that include a couple hundred budget-size studios in the $700-1000 range. This weekend, we just heard somebody had to leave on very short notice, so it’s available starting after this weekend. It may end up being offered furnished, this is still developing news at this point. The price is $875. We don’t have pictures of this unit yet, but we have a high definition video tour of the identical unit next door – check it out here. If you want it, call me today, and be ready to put down money tomorrow after a quick showing, because there will be ten other people who also want it this weekend.

Next, we have a one bedroom that is being renovated for a November 1 move-in on North Beacon Street in Brighton, around the corner from Market Street. They are doing hard-core renovations and won’t let us see it just yet because there’s a wall torn out – but they’re fast-tracked to make it beautiful for next month. The entrance takes you into the living room, with a tiny kitchen adjoining, with the bedroom in back. This one is going to be tricky, because at that price and that size it really is an incredible deal that should go very fast – but because of the renovations it will be very hard to show immediately. If you’re interested, please let us know and we’ll put you on our list of interested clients for the place, and we’ll start scheduling showings as soon as the landlord will let us in.

If you want a HUGE one bed, you’ve got to check out this sexy bungalow-slash-hunting-lodge I found hiding in the middle of Brighton. It’s $1700 for a flexible move-in date, but it’s worth it with in-unit laundry, high ceiling, working fireplace, and boatload of charm. It’s actually three floors of living space, with the bathroom and laundry down the spiral staircase, the loft-style bedroom up the spiral staircase, and the living room and fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor. This isn’t an apartment, technically – this is one structure, one living unit. Check out the video tour here.

brondsonIf you’re looking for a reasonably priced but nice two bedroom apartment, you have to check out this unit over on Bronsdon Street in Allston. That’s one of those quiet little neighborhoods cradled between where Market St and Western Ave join. It’s currently vacant and available for a move-in as soon as someone takes it. The monthly rent is $1800. We have acquired a video tour which is currently in post-production, but you can find pictures (and a link to the video once it is ready) here.

If you’re looking for a three bedroom, I have two really nice ones for you. The first is a value deal – a three bedroom in Brookline for $2475, available now. This has porches/patios, nice hardwood floors everywhere, and is pretty roomy. You don’t see a lot of three beds in this area in this price range, so it’s going to go pretty quickly. You can watch our video tour of this apartment here.

balconypenthouseThe second is pricey but worth it. One of our luxury highrises has an availability in one of their two penthouse apartments. This place made my jaw drop when I walked in the front door! It wasn’t even all the marble dripping off of everything in the bathrooms and kitchen, or the gigantic triple-closets in the bedrooms, or the ridiculous amount of space in a city apartment. No all of that was nice but…this place is bracketed by TWO balconies, one on each side of the apartment, each offering a unique sweeping vista of the city far, far below. That view alone is worth $4999 a month! These cream-of-the-crop penthouse units almost never become available – so if you think you might be interested now is the time to act. You can view the video tour of this penthouse apartment here.

beaconFinally, a beautiful four bed for you families and groups out there! For this one we’re back to Brookline, right on Beacon Street near Brandon Hall. This gem has some really nice detail work, some deep dark wood paneling contrasts nicely with golden hardwood floors. The place just really looks nice and it couldn’t be in a more charming neighborhood. Check out the video tour here.

If any of these finds interests you, we’re very easy to reach. Drop us an email at Proper@ProperRealtyGroup.com, or tweet us @ProperRG, or call our 24-hour line at 617-756-3029. Or just drop in to our Allston office at 1298A Commonwealth Ave, we’ll be happy to help you!
