The holidays are coming and its that time of year when we all need to make our lists and check them twice. Holiday shopping can be a nightmare, especially for the novice shopper who doesn’t understand the difference between Black Friday and Blue Moon. But there are relatives and friends who deserve to be recognized with a token gift, and the Harvard Square Holiday Craft Fairs may be just the answer to your holiday shopping needs.

The annual fair is housed in the First Parish Unitarian Church located at the corner of Church Street and Massachusetts Avenue, better known to the locals as Mass Ave. The location is especially convenient for apartment dwellers housed in Allston apartments, Boston University housing, Fenway apartments, Boston College housing, Brighton apartments and Northeastern University apartments. With several shopping dates and plenty of craft vendors, the Harvard Square Holiday Craft Fairs could become your one-stop shopping extravaganza this year.

Vendors selling unique wares include native New England crafters and world traveling importers. These original and affordable gifts are displayed within the confines of the church building and in the outside courtyard area. Though the dates of the fairs vary each year, it will typically be open to the public a dozen or so days during the month of December. This means affordability, convenience and just plain fun all under one roof and sky.

The shopping experience is unique in a host of ways. It is typical Harvard Square style with music blaring, energy bouncing and people bumping into friends old and new. The gift items are anything but run of the mill. In many cases, the crafter or artist is the exhibitor, so shoppers can put a face with a talent. This also opens the opportunity for asking questions and possibly negotiating special orders for a special someone on your holiday gift list. Unique one-of-a-kind items are the norm as opposed to the exception. This experience is nothing like a day at the mall – this is live energy, good karma and rare finds. So put aside any stereotypical visions you might have about performing the holiday shopping chore. This is a walk in the park – literally.

Last year, the Harvard Square Craft Fairs celebrated 25 years of this gathering of crafters. From handmade jewelry to hand-thrown pottery to carved wood, you simply cannot walk away without finding a few must-have items. Those who appreciate true craftsmanship will be mesmerized by the array of colors, textures and art mediums from which to choose. And somehow, the atmosphere also tends to bring out a little bit of the artist in every one of its visitors. Be prepared to walk away with not only purchased gift items, but a renewed sense of creativity.

This year’s annual fair dates are as follows:

Saturday and Sunday, December 3rd and 4th

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 9th, 10th and 11th

December 16th through the 18th

December 20th through the 24th

On Saturdays, the fair is open from 10 am to 7 pm, and on Sundays the hours are from 12 noon to 6 pm. Weekday hours are from 11:30 am to 7 pm.

A sampling of this year’s offerings include beaded, glass and vintage jewelry, stoneware pottery, fleece for adults and children, cards, prints, calendars, novelty t-shirts, photography, bath and body products, candles, pewter, glass, wovens, chocolates, jams, woolens and honey. The variety and number of items means you can cross off every person on your receiving list including family, friends, professors, your manicurist and the little old lady who keeps your cat when you go out of town.

Don’t miss the Harvard Square Holiday Craft Fairs. It is an event to be remembered and revisited often. Happy holidays!

Welcome to South Boston

South Boston - Fun for all ages.

The entire city of Boston is full of wonderful attractions, but it is sadly impossible to see them all in a day, a week, or even a lifetime.  Sometimes, it helps to pick a certain neighborhood in Boston and concentrate on the unique culture of that area.

One of the city’s best kept secrets is South Boston.  This is where all the students living in the University of Massachusetts Boston housing and the Northeastern University Apartments visit when they first move into to their respective colleges.  The students in Boston College housing quickly learn of the vibrant culture that South Boston has to offer and are eager to check it out for themselves.  If you are planning on visiting Boston, be sure to check out the following South Boston attractions:
John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum
Located right on Columbia Point, near the University of Massachusetts Boston rentals, the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is the official tribute to a great president and man.  Explore the digital archives, a massive collection of stored letters, pictures and documents from JFK’s presidency.  You can imagine the rigors of a president’s day as you sit in the very same desk that Kennedy used in the Oval Office.  A brand new exhibit highlights the beautiful Jackie O and what she had to say in her famous 1964 interview.  There are also plenty of unique research opportunities for high school students and teachers, as well as those living in Boston College apartments.
Castle Island
This stunning park overlooks Pleasure Bay and and Boston Harbor on the Waterfront.  The main attraction of Castle Island is Fort Independence, a huge military fortress built between 1834 and 1851. Visitors flock from all over to see the grand structure of Fort Independence, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Other visitors prefer sunbathing on the M Street Beach or Carson Beach. The rest of the park is connected by a scenic walkway.  If you wish, you can take the walkway from Castle Island all the way to the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
Boston Children’s Museum
If you are visiting South Boston with kids, you’ll definitely want to stop by the Boston Children’s Museum.  For over 90 years, this museum has been delighting children and adults from all over the world.  The museum has a refreshing emphasis on hands-on learning, so you don’t have to worry about trying to hold your kids back from touching everything in sight.  Have your children burn off some of their excess energy at the Construction Zone, where they can ride a real Bobcat, use a jackhammer and dig, build and tear down to their heart’s content.  The Science Playground guides children through the amazing world of nature, by allowing them to investigate just like an adult scientist.  And on the KidStage, children can experience the joy of performing for others.
Fort Point Arts Community Gallery
A short walk from the Boston Children’s Museum and the Brighton Apartments, the Fort Point Arts Community Gallery is the hidden gem of South Boston.  Recognized as one of the largest artists’ communities in all of New England, the gallery features work from over 300 talented artists.  The beautiful artwork on display includes paintings, photography, sculptures, drawings and much more.  During the annual Open Studios event, visitors can get a taste of the daily lives of Boston’s finest artists.
Whether you are staying in the Fenway apartments or in Southie rentals, you’ll have no trouble keeping yourself busy in South Boston.  The neighborhood has a wealth of attractions, with something to do for every visitor.

Take a tour at Boston's Harpoon BreweryAnyone who has attended Boston University or the nearby Newton Campus of Boston College will agree that he got much of his education after class. Both campuses are located close to one of the most sophisticated cities in America.  An area that teams with fascinating things to see and do. Those who live in Suffolk University apartments or Berklee  apartments are fortunate to be near Chinatown, the Theatre District and, of course, just a short cab ride to the famous Harpoon Brewery.

The Harpoon Brewery is within blocks of several South Boston apartments which provide great UMass housing opportunities for students. When you get some time away from the books, take a ride down to this famous brewery. They love visitors and will happily give you a tour of the place.

The brewery is only open for tours on the weekend and visitors are encouraged to get their tickets early, because the tours sell out fast. That’s right, this place is so popular that you have to buy a ticket to get in. Saturday tours begin at 10:30 a.m., and a group is allowed in to start their tour every half hour until 5 p.m. However, the tickets are often sold out by 2 p.m. On Sundays, tours launch every half hour from 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. While you are waiting for your turn, you can visit the nearby Institute of Contemporary Art or lounge at a neighborhood pub or restaurant.

Tickets for the tour are $5.00, and the cost is well worth it. Your guide will take you through the brewery and explain each step in the beer-making process. No brewing or bottling is actually taking place on the weekend, but that gives you a chance to get close to the equipment. The best part is at the end where, if you are over 21, you are given a free souvenir glass and invited to indulge in some of the frothy stuff you just learned about.

Tasters are given samples of Harpoon’s two premium brands: UFO and Harpoon. Harpoon does not have an open bar; the tasting is part of the tour. It is narrated so that you will acquire a better understanding of what you are drinking. You will learn to appreciate the flavor of fine beer and to tell the difference in quality.

The tasting room is spacious and can accommodate up to 80 people at a time. It features a Brewhouse platform overlooking the brewery. For those who wish to see the factory in operation, Harpoon encourages visitors to come to their weekday tastings held Monday through Fridays at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. These events are free and include complimentary samples of Harpoon and UFO beers. These samplings are also narrated, and include a history of Harpoon and an explanation of the brewing process. Free beer is, of course, very popular with the local college crowd, so come early.

Whether you are taking the tour, or attending a tasting, Harpoon encourages anyone who can to come by public transit since parking spaces in the area are limited. This is convenient for those who are fortunate enough to live in the vicinity. If you want to be a part of the downtown culture of this vibrant, exciting city, browse through available  Boston neighborhood apartments through Warren Rentals and contact one of our expert real estate agents today!

Surviving Boston Winter Utility Bills on a College Student Budget

Boston college students are always looking for ways to save money. Apartment living can be affordable if you share expenses with roommates. But living in Boston means putting up with Boston winters, and utilities can skyrocket during the cold months. Having a plan to beat high utility costs ahead of time can save you more money than you think.

Students looking for Boston college housing can take advantage of online tools to find affordable subleases and roommates interested in sharing rent and living expenses. When looking for an apartment, think ahead about the space and how it’s set up against extreme winter weather. Old windows with cracks in the caulking let in drafts and keep you cranking up the thermostat to stay warm. Apartments with too many windows, even though they may be newer, pose the same problem. Look for spaces that have plenty of light, without too much glass. Also consider the location of windows. North facing windows get all the cold, while southern windows warm your space with the afternoon sun.

If you’ve already found great Boston University housing, take time to tighten things up before winter. Set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature and keep it there. Raising and lowering the temperature can cost money you don’t have. Layering clothing and adding extra blankets to your bed will help you spend much less than cranking up the thermostat. If you have a programmable thermostat, use the program to lower the temperature at night and while you’re away, and to warm the apartment in the morning and right before you plan to be home. Using less heat when you’re not home can add up to big savings.

Get on a budget plan if your local utility offers one. Paying the same amount every month is much easier on your budget than coming up with a big heating bill right after the holidays. This is a great idea if you plan on staying in Brighton apartments or Fenway apartments during the summer months when classes aren’t in session. If your utility company doesn’t offer a budget plan that meets your needs, put yourself on a plan by figuring out how much your bill is for the year and dividing by twelve. Set that amount aside each month so you’re prepared when the winter bills come in. Another way to avoid utility bill surprises is to find Boston college apartments with heat and water included in the rent. The rent may be a little higher, but the savings add up quickly when you’re not budgeting separately for these two areas.

Once you’ve got your utility budget set, look for ways to maximize your heat and electrical use. Use decorative draft protectors under doors to block cold air. Install shrink-wrap plastic over all windows. Shrink-wrap kits are simple to use and available at local home supply stores. Replace old light bulbs with fluorescent alternatives for long winter nights, and add an electric blanket to your bed if you like it warmer while you sleep. Do your studying in public places or at the library whenever possible to take advantage of lowering your thermostat while you’re away.

Talk to your roommates about ways to save money on utilities during the winter months in Boston, and be sure you all agree on how best to keep warm without spending too much money. With a few tweaks to your environment and a good budget plan, surviving Boston winters can be more affordable than you think.

Time for giving in the Boston areaDuring this coming Thanksgiving holiday season, a time when you want to share your time and effort with your community during your break from college, you will also need to find affordable housing near your volunteer location. By choosing a central location near adequate public transportation, as well as a prime spot near the social activities that Boston has to offer.
Boston offers a tremendous number of opportunities for you to become an involved part of the season of giving. You will be able to feed your desire and need  to step away from course work, intense studying, deadlines and exams while offering a kind hand to those who need your help during your Thanksgiving break.
Once you have decided you want to volunteer in Boston during Thanksgiving, you will have a wide array of options where you can share your good will. Depending on how much time you have to offer and what type of work you would like to do, and the area of the city in which you would like to spend your time volunteering, you will have many choices for living arrangements.
One volunteer option to consider is the Boston Living Center, which celebrates its Annual Celebration of Life at the Hynes Convention Center in the Back Bay. This event offers a full dinner for those living with HIV/AIDS, as well as for their families and loved ones.
You may also choose to go the classic route and Ring the Bell for the Salvation Army. This option may provide you with a longer time frame in which you can offer your volunteer services to the community of Boston.
Consider giving your time to one of the many hospitals in the Boston area. You may be able to work at the reception or visitor’s desk. You may also be asked to visit patients who have been hospitalized without any family near where you can keep someone company by talking, reading a book, or playing a game.
Don’t forget fine, furry friends while you’re in the Boston area. Volunteer at Boston’s animal shelters to spread love and kindness to animals who are without a family of their own this holiday season.
Boston offers many safe neighborhoods, steeped in historical and cultural tradition, where you can hang your hat after a long day of volunteering your generous services. By choosing an apartment located in any of the neighborhoods listed below, you can be confident that you will return to a safe, comfortable place to rest after a night out on the town with friends.
One route to finding the right accommodations will be in checking with the many colleges in the area such as Boston University housing, Boston University apartments or Boston College apartments.
Also, be open to looking beyond the college areas into the more cozy nearby neighborhoods such as Allston apartments, which are located in the western part of the city and are adjacent to Brighton apartments. The two areas area often referred to as Allston-Brighton and both feature multi-family Victorian style homes, often in the form of triple deckers, or three-story apartment buildings.
You might also want to check out Fenway apartments, which are near Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox, located in the heart of the Fenway-Kenmore area.
No matter where you choose to live during your time of giving this Thanksgiving, you will find rich history, cultural diversity and a great chance to feel a part of your community.

New England has a long and esteemed tradition of higher education. Some of the best universities and small liberal arts schools in the country can be found in the Northeast. Boston has always been an epicenter of culture and learning. The colleges in Boston represent a wide range of educational disciplines. Whatever you want to study, chances are there is a respected school that has what you are looking for. For a student, Boston is one of the best places in America to live. If you are thinking of attending school in the Boston area, then here are five reasons why you should live in the city on the Charles.

1. Boston is the undisputed birthplace of the American Revolution. Whereas this might not initially be a huge reason to live in the city, once you arrive here, you will see that history, cultural monuments, and period architecture make a great backdrop for higher learning. Simply being in such close proximity to America’s founding fathers is educational and inspiring. You can feel the many layers of tradition and ritual as you walk down the street. Boston University apartments and Boston College apartments will place you right in the thick of the action.

2. If you are a sports fan, then Boston has the greatest sporting culture in America. People are devoted and passionate about sports in this part of the Northeast. Every big game is like some type of widespread, communal event. Whether you prefer baseball, football, basketball or hockey, the four pillars of the sporting world are represented by Boston sports teams. This past decade has been particularly kind to Boston, as all the major sports teams have brought home a championship trophy. If you are a sports aficionado, then Boston is your kind of town.

3. It is easy to navigate your way around Boston. Boston is small in comparison to other U.S. cities. It is a compact and walkable city. In other words, it is perfect for a student. Boston is not daunting and unmanageable like New York City. The subway, known as the T, is straightforward and easy to use. It is nothing like that mass of labyrinthine subway tunnels that exist in New York. Finding your way around a new town can be difficult and frustrating. However, the layout of Boston is far less complex than other cities. Whether you are looking at Boston College housing or apartments for rent Brighton, you will be able to navigate from one end of the city to the other.

4. Boston has a great collection of Irish bars, nightclubs, music venues, and popular theaters. The nightlife in Boston is extremely varied. If an active social life is your cup of tea, then you will have no problem finding a lively and vibrant watering hole to spend your Friday and Saturday nights.

5. The Charles River, the Boston Harbor, and Boston’s close proximity to the beach are three good reasons to live in Boston. They are not only scenic, but provide a host of different activities. Sailing, rowing, deep sea fishing and a whale watch can all be accessed from Boston. A short day trip out of the city will be bring you to the North or South Shores. Both are home to pristine beaches. Boston is the heart of the Massachusetts coast. Getting out of the city for a day is easy, and when summer rolls around there is nothing better than a relaxing day on the beach. Fenway apartments and Allston apartments put you in close proximity to everything that Massachusetts has to offer.
