Rent is going from 1750 to 2000 for a studio in Allston (disgusting, I started at 1400 just two years ago). Which neighborhoods are people moving to, to escape these atrocious rent increases?
I have a car, so I can commute back into downtown if needed, but would be nice to be on a commuter rail line. I'm down to even move out west.
I've looked through the Guide in the sidebar, but I wanted to hear some firsthand accounts. I'm just sad and stressed by all this bs rent increase and having to move AGAIN. By all means, let me know if this post should be deleted.
Edit: I can't respond to everyone, so I'd like to thank everyone here in the post for the responses, thoughts, empathy, and discussion. I've got a lot of neighborhoods to check out, and I feel a little bit better now that I have a few leads. I hope this is also helpful for others in the same situation!
