As we mentioned before, it is never too early to start looking for your next apartment. The sooner you start looking, the better the chances you are going to find that perfect place for you to call home for at least the next year. Take a look at the following places and give Proper Realty Group a call today to schedule a showing!

Students (well not JUST students), you’re about 7 and a half months away from your next move.  Although that may seem like a long time, apartments in and around Boston are already renting!  September first is approaching and it will be here before you know it.  Proper Realty Group would like to take a few minutes to offer a few helpful tips to help with this process (Don’t worry, we’ll refresh your memory closer to the actual move).

Start your search EARLY!

Do not think for  a second it’s too early.  The most desirable apartments are the first to go, and they go immediately.  If you have an eye on a location or even a particular building CALL US TODAY!  We will have  all of the proper updates and your next move will be into a place you love, not whatever was left over.

Prepare EARLY!

Is your lease ending before the next one starts?  Do you have a place to put all of your stuff.  It’s very likely all of the storage units that are convenient will be full and will fill up quick.  If you know when you’re moving in and out make sure you reserve your storage unit as soon as possible!

How are you planning to move?

The great majority of people in Boston do not have cars, let alone a truck big enough to move your bed, dresser, giant TV, etc.  To an even greater degree moving trucks and movers fill up FAST.

Call Cable and or Internet Provider

It can be relatively annoying, but call your cable/internet service provider and ask about specials for current and old customers.  Often times it is much more advantageous to consumers to disconnect and reconnect (very easy with roommates) as a “new customer”,  or let a competitor know you are thinking of changing and see what offers are available then.

Retail Me Not

Retailmenot.com is probably one of the best websites when it comes to most everything.  I personally saved about $200 on a budget rental truck when first moving to Boston.  It’s full of coupons and deals for stores with an online presence.  This is anything from Budget Rentals to PapaJohns.com.  Great deals to be had!

Original Chicago style Pizza and More!  Uno’s in Allston has a great selection of food for lunch, dinner and the times in between.  Starting with delicious lunch specials that include soup and salad, a menu that contains everything from Chicago Style Pizza to Steak and Shrimp.

You might not believe it because the food is so delicious, but Uno’s has been named the Healthiest Chain Restaurant by Health magazine.  With Gluten Free offerings, and zero trans fat, you can’t go wrong with their selection!

And not to mention my favorite part of Uno’s, the Snack Hour.  Sunday-Friday 4-7pm and 10pm to close they offer miniature sized appetizers starting at $1.99.  This deal is also good all day Sunday for NFL football.

Don’t forget to check out Uno’s Trivia in the downstairs bar every Tuesday night.  There is also always Free Darts and Foosball every night! Read the rest of this entry »
