anyone moving to boston... ?

Hi all -

I graduated from a Boston college this past may and I'm starting a new grad job on Oct 1st. I was wondering if anyone out there is looking for a roommate in Boston or know of anyone who is? I've spent the last month looking for a place in Beacon Hill, Cambridge, and South Shore and have found some really nice places, but they are all on the higher end of how much I want to spend on rent. rent's outta control!

Hi,

It's so funny to read this post, because I've spent the whole night on craigslist searching for any decent spare room in Boston so I can be closer to my job. I truly feel your pain, everything is so expensive if you're renting for one!

I am starting at Beth Israel next week as a new grad and I am so thrilled. However, I am NOT thrilled about commuting from the south shore 4 to 5 days per week. I am beginning to realize my ideal living situation (having a nice big downtown apartment all to myself) is not possible, and may soon consider looking for a roomate as well.

Oh, and congrats on landing a new grad position in town! Where did you graduate from, and where are you working?

ahh i totally understand, i feel like i know every listing on craigslist right now and the worst part is, i've been to boston like 5 times in the past week to meet with realtors and when I call them i'll be like, so i wanna see these places you have on ur website/craigslist and they are like "well, we dont really have any of those available.. buuuut we do have this one bedroom in a BASEMENT!!" uhm, no thanks! lol or they have something that's really nice but $300 dollars more than I told them I wanted to spend..
