Apartment hunting in Boston is overwhelming for a whole slew of reasons—heavy competition, pricing, and spiraling out of control on Craigslist are just a few of them. So, for your convenience, we’re highlighting a few Zumper listings with one unique characteristic. This round, it’s places asking $1,700 or less per month—because who has thousands to drop on a rental, anyway? Below, peruse five one-bedroom apartments for rent in Boston for $1,700 or less per month.
25 Brackett St., Brighton
Bedrooms: 1
Bathrooms: 1
Rent: $1,595 per month
Situated just off Washington Street in Oak Square, this unit is not slacking on space. A sloped ceiling in the kitchen injects some interest into the long cooking and dining area, and the living room and bedroom are big enough to house a sectional and king-sized bed respectively, with room leftover. Free laundry in the building and a location steps from 57 and 64 bus stops seal this deal for this Brighton gem, available June first.
12 Abbey Road, Lower Allston
Bedrooms: 1
Bathrooms: 1
Rent: $1,700 per month
For Beatles buffs, walking home along Abbey Road may be a dream come true. Beyond feeling closer to the Fab Four without crossing the pond, this one-bed offers an ideal location: close to Boston Landing, the Charles River, and central Allston. Hardwood floors adorn the sizable living room as well as the rest of the cozy unit, available June first.

If a spiral staircase, exposed brick, and close to a T stop are all on your apartment-hunting checklist, this Jeffries Point unit ticks all the boxes. A red brick accent wall provides the perfect backdrop for bright white cabinets, recessed lighting, and gray-toned flooring in the modern eat-in. Available now, this single bedroom home offers a five minute walk to the Airport T station and 10 minutes to sparkling vistas from LoPresti Park and Piers Park.
263 Border St. #2, East Boston

Bonus: Basement storage and in-building laundry can help keep the mess at bay.
