Boston Condos for Sale and Apartments for Rent

Boston apartment rents at an all time high

Even with its sky-high rents, Boston has always been able say “Hey, it’s worse in San Francisco.”

But maybe not for long.

A new survey released Tuesday by real estate website Zumper found that the median monthlyrent for a one bedroom in Boston is $2,720, just $130 shy of the $2,850 number seen in San Francisco. (New York City leads the pack at $3,260 a month.)

That’s an all-time high for Boston apartments, which has long ranked among the priciest cities in the country but typically lagged behind the Bay Area — where the weather and booming tech scene pushed pre-pandemic real estate prices into the stratosphere
