Best Way To Search For Your Ideal Boston Apartment

Over the years, apartment searches in Boston have become more than just walking the neighborhood, eyes vainly searching for the elusive read and white sign posted in the window of an available apartment for rent. More and more people are utilizing the Internet to conduct apartment searches in their nearby neighborhoods.

Where To Begin?

Choose popular apartment search websites that disclose as much information as possible about the apartment rental, the landlord, and about the lease agreement. Sites that have mapping features are ideal and can make your Boston university housing search easier.

When conducting apartment searches in Boston, you need to consider several factors to make your search a success. Start by deciding if there are certain neighborhoods you want to live in. Base your decision on the types of transportation you want to use to get to college classes, downtown shopping areas, and recreational spots. Will those Allston apartments get you to your classes quicker, or would a Fenway apartment have the best public transportation?

Once you decide on a location, decide on the size. A one-bedroom or a studio pad? Also consider whether you will be living alone or have other people also renting the same apartment to cut down on costs.

Continue to narrow down the search results, using factors such as price and features. Is there onsite laundry facilities and parking? How close are the grocery stores and other eateries? Use your personal preferences in the search results until you have a list of apartments that would work out great for you.

Always keep a lookout for the ever-present scammer. It may be someone using legitimate rentals of Boston college apartments but has different contact information to get your money. Or it could be a landlord painting a picturesque perfect apartment that is actually a rundown, decaying mess.

Always check out the apartment before signing the lease agreement. Even if there is a photo of your Brighton apartment rental, you never know how long ago that photo was taken and changes could have been made that can have an effect on your decision.

Basic Tax Filing Tips for College Students

As if final exams weren’t bad enough, most working college students face an added pressure when spring rolls around: filing taxes. While filing taxes is not as much of a hassle for broke college students as it is for more established professionals (college students have few, if any deductions to make) it still can be very difficult, as many students are still new to the whole concept. If you are a college student living in the Boston area, it doesn’t matter if you’re in the Brighton apartments, Northeastern University apartments or Allston apartments. You are going to need to get your taxes done, and you probably won’t have mom and dad to help you out this time. These tips should help to keep you on the straight and narrow:

Get a Head Start

Not doing anything for spring break? Start working on your taxes now! The last thing you need is to get to April 15th and still be scrambling to finish them up. If you’re heading home for spring break, take advantage of your parents’ expertise. If you’re going to be stuck in Boston College housing take advantage of the quiet and get those taxes out of the way.

Deductions

If you aren’t claimed as a dependent, you might be able to make a deduction for your college tuition. There are all kinds of education tax credits available for students. These may even wipe out any taxes that you owe.

Figure out Residency Qualifications

If you are living in the Boston University apartments for part of the year and spending summers in another state, you’ll have two states trying to get their hands on your money. Take a little time to find out if you are qualified to be considered a resident in your home state.

Going Green ideas that reduce utility bills in your Boston apartment

You’ve probably heard about all the wonderful things that homeowners can do to “go green” and save money on their utility bills, from putting in a tankless water heater to adding rooftop solar panels. Those answers are fine for someone who has a house, but what if you live in a Boston apartment? From the Allston apartments to Boston University apartments, it doesn’t matter where you live–there are things you can do to save money and go green.

So if you’re living in Boston university housing, you’re probably wondering what you can possibly do to go green. How about unplugging unused appliances and electronic devices? Some estimates indicate that as much as 10% of the average household’s energy bill is the result of the drain of appliances that are off, but plugged in. Try grouping your devices onto power strips and turning those strips off at night. Turning off lights in rooms that you are not in can also help trim the energy bill.

Odds are if you’re living in a Fenway apartment, your landlord isn’t going to let you change to more energy efficient windows, but he may let you put up your own window treatments. Nice energy efficient drapes can keep your apartment cooler in summer and warmer in winter. One thing landlords will usually help with is repairs, and fixing a leaky faucet can save you a lot on your water bill.

Finally, most modern apartments like Allston apartments or Brighton rentals will have a programmable thermostat, but if they don’t it’s worthwhile to get permission and install one. The added control can save you big on your heating bill. It can be difficult to go green while living in an apartment, but it’s not impossible!

Spring activities to do on a budget in Boston

Just as the snow melts away and Boston’s scenery turns a forest green, residents and visitors alike shed their parkas and look for activities to do. It’s springtime, the weather is nicer and people want to get out of their house. Of course, budget can be a factor, accordingly, here are a few springtime activities sure to break the winter chill, but not the bank.

Get out of that stuffy Fenway apartment and take in a Red Sox’s game. Nice weather, ballpark food and baseball make for an awesome springtime outing.

2. Boston Public Library

Whether you live in Boston University housing or Allston apartments, the Boston Public Library is open for your convenience. Checkout a book and read it in Copley Square, or simply take a tour of the historic building.

Boston is home to several universities, many of which are prestigiously known around the world. MIT, Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University and Harvard are all practically a stone’s throw away from anywhere in Boston, even Kenmore, or Brighton.

4. Go Apartment Shopping

Even if you are happy with your current residence, looking at potential apartments can be an enjoyable springtime activity. Kenmore apartments as well as Brighton apartments are affordable.

Choosing the Right Pet for Your Boston College Apartment

Posted by nwarren at 15 March 2012

Category: ALLSTON, Allston Apartments, Boston apartment, STUDENT APARTMENTS BOSTON, apartment, apartment Brighton, apartment Brighton MA, apartments Boston, apartments Kenmore, student rentals

Tags: apartment pets, boston apartment pets, choosing a pet, college apartment pets, finding a boston pet, the right pet

When you’re thinking about brining a pet to live in your boston apartment there are several things to consider. The first, and probably most important, is how long are you away from home each day? This will help you choose the right pet for your particular living situation. Puppies and dogs need exercise and a chance to visit the great outdoors several times each day, so if you work long hours or are a student with a large class load, a dog or puppy may not be the best choice. Of course you can always hire someone to come by and walk the dog at least once a day while you are at work or school, but most college students have a limited budget and may not be able to afford this service.

Animal lovers have lots of options for pets in Brighton apartments, even if a dog isn’t the best choice. Cats love attention, but need a lot less of it to be content. Food, fresh water and a clean litter box are all you need to keep your cat happy in your Allston apartment. If you do need to be gone for a few days, having a friend come by once a day to take care of your cat’s needs is easy to do.

Check with your Boston apartments’ landlord about the apartment pet policy. Most apartments require a pet deposit or only allow small animals like fish or birds in their units. Pets are fun, but they can be costly when you start adding up pet deposits, food and veterinary care. Make sure you can support a pet before you bring one home.

Part-time job hunting tips for college students in Boston

Looking for a part time job to cover that new Fenway apartment? Whether you’re shacked up in Boston college housing or you’re looking for Brighton rentals, you won’t make rent without some income. Here are a few tips for finding a great job to get off of mom and dad’s support system:

1. Expand Your Social Network

Make it known throughout your social network that you’re looking for work. You never know which friend or relative might have a lead for you to follow. Be open to working locally somewhere in walking distance from your Boston University housing or on the web as there’s actually quite a bit of work out there on the internet if you know where to look and you have talents that you can apply as a freelancer.

2. Call First

In many offices and workplaces, the people in charge of hiring will hire the person who makes the call back first. When you have two dozen applications, the person who calls you is showing initiative, and what’s more, they’re taking much of the responsibility of making a difficult decision out of your hands. Call your would be employers before they have the chance to call you and you greatly improve your odds of being hired.

3. Supplement Your Income

Covering the costs of apartments for rent in Brighton involves keeping a steady influx of income. One of the best ways to maintain steady cash flow is with multiple sources of income. Don’t just rely on your job, look for freelance work, sell things on etsy and eBay, start your own small business and so on. The important thing is earning enough money to live comfortably while going to school, and in this day and age that doesn’t usually mean getting all of your income from a single source.

Tips and Tricks on Living in Boston on a Broke College Student Budget

When you’re a broke college student, Boston can be a tough place to live because it is so expensive and there are so many fun things you want to do in the city, but there never seem to be enough money for it all. Boston college apartments are notoriously pricey, but with some creativity, you can make living in and enjoying Boston work, even on a really tight budget.

One of the best tricks is to find a couple of roommates from your school to help you share the cost of living. Once you’re looking together for Boston University housing or Allston apartments, you can split not only the rent, but also the utilities. This adds up to significant savings for all of you, plus it’s more fun because you always have some friends around.

After that, the other main thing you can do is to look a little further away from the usual housing spots. Head a few blocks out and see your rent drop dramatically. For example, rather than looking for Boston College housing right off campus, search for Brighton apartments in general. As long as you have a bike to get around, you’ll hardly notice the extra distance, but your budget will definitely see the difference.

Beyond just the tips related to college apartments Boston students can use several other strategies to stretch their budgets. For example, rather than eating in the cafeteria on campus or in restaurants nearby, shop at the grocery store for basic staples and prepare them yourself in your apartment kitchen. You can also keep your thermostat at a reasonable temperature to minimize your cost on utilities. Just a few degrees can make a big difference, especially in the winter.

Luck of the Irish St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl in Boston

The cultural and religious Irish holiday known as St. Patrick’s Day observes the patron Saint, Saint Patrick, and the day also marks the lifting of Lenten limitations. This holiday is the most popular and extensively celebrated of all the saints’ days. On March 17^th individuals all over the world celebrate the holiday by attending church services, wearing green attire and by partying at bars, clubs and other St Paddy’s day fetes.

Here in the U.S. a popular way to celebrate this holiday is to attend pub crawls wearing copious amounts of green. A pub crawl is a carefree version of bar hoping.

New Year’s resolutions that can help a college student’s budget

The new year is upon us and it’s always a good time to look to improve certain areas of one’s life. If you are a college student in the Boston area and one of the areas you are looking to improve in your life is your financial situation, the following resolutions might just be able to help you with that.

1. Resolve to eat at home. The average cost of a meal at a restaurant is $8 to $12, and yes, fast food is included in the average–if you like fine dining, you’ll be paying $20 to $50 per meal in Boston. The cost for students to buy groceries and eat in the comfort of their Boston college apartments? $6 to $10. That is roughly 70 percent of the cost of a cheap meal and 50 percent or less of the cost of a fine dining experience.

2. Make a resolution to shop around to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal on housing. Often when you start college, you don’t get to put as much research into finding a place to live as you probably should. In some cases, you are unfamiliar with the area, too, which makes it even more difficult to get the best possible deal on Boston university apartments. The beginning of new year is a great time to look around a little more throughly. You may be able to find better deals by expanding your search and looking at Allston apartments, Brighton apartments, apartments in Kenmore or even a good Fenway apartment. There are good deals out there for Boston university housing–you just need to find them.

3. Use your student ID more often. Your student ID can get you discounts at restaurants, clothing stores, museums and many other places in the Boston area. It’s a great habit to get into to start asking if there’s a student discount wherever you go.

4. Walk more. Walking is great exercise, first of all, and cheaper than any aerobics class or gym membership. Walking is also basically free, so every time you choose to walk somewhere instead of taking a car, bus or train, you are going to be saving some money.

5. Resolve to cut back on the nightlife. You’re supposed to be studying anyway, right? If you’re over 21, the temptation will, of course, be there to go out and have a few drinks on occasion. The fact is, you’re better off staying home and having a drink with your friends. A mixed drink in a bar can cost you up to $10. A beer can cost $3 to $5. It’s much cheaper to buy it in a store and bring it home (if your Boston apartment allows it). Another benefit of drinking at home is that you don’t need to catch a cab or risk a drunk driving arrest. The cab could cost $10 to $20; the arrest could cost thousands. Even if you’re a soda drinker, you can drink a six pack at home for what you would pay for a glass in a restaurant or bar.

6. The internet is your friend. Make a resolution to check on the internet before buying anything, particularly electronics. Chances are that whatever price you find in a local store can be beat online, even with shipping costs. If you’re willing to buy something used, you can save even more. Sites like Ebay and Amazon.com usually offer new and used options for a variety of items.

New Year’s Day is a time of renewal and it is a great time to fix the things in your life that need fixing, including that lack of money in your pocket. The resolutions above should get you on track to saving money. Now stick to them!
