This apartment's rent is 40.91% cheaper than the median rent of $3,300 for a 2-bedroom apartment in Jamaica Central - South Sumner, Boston, MA.

The median is solely based on the area and the number of bedrooms. Listing-specific characteristics such as the number of bathrooms and the amenities will also impact the price.

The apartment is a unit offered at a monthly price of $1,950. The manager allows pet cats but does not seem to allow dogs. As always, you should ask as early in the process as possible if you have any questions regarding the pet policy. This is a No Fee apartment, meaning the manager or agent should not ask you for a broker fee (there may still be deposits and other move-in fees paid to the landlord).

Unfortunately, RentHop does not have any photos for this apartment.
