About Back Bay

Back Bay is the brownstone grid between the Charles and Huntington Ave, and shared apartments here are typically two-bedroom units carved out of historic townhouses — high ceilings, bay windows, and often no laundry or elevator.

Getting to work from Back Bay

The best-connected neighborhood in Boston: Green Line along Boylston, Orange Line and commuter rail at Back Bay Station, and walking distance to most Financial District and Prudential offices.

Who shares apartments here

Consultants, finance and law professionals, medical residents, and Berklee and Northeastern students whose budgets allow it.

The trade-off

Highest per-room rent on this list, small kitchens, and parking that costs hundreds a month. If the walk to work isn't worth that, the Orange Line from JP gets you there in 15 minutes for far less.
