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 $1,800 or less per month—because who has thousands to drop on a rental, anyway?

Below, peruse five two-bedroom apartments for rent in Boston for $1,800 or less per month.

1. 3 Greenwood Street, Dorchester
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 1
Rent: $1,800 per month

Behold the rarest rental of all: the one with a month-to-month lease. This Dorchester apartment, located on the third floor of a three-decker, boasts four closets, hardwood floors, a yard, and a deck.

2. 45 Aldrich Street #1R, Somerville
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 1
Rent: $1,600 per month

Not far from Union Square, this two-bedroom is a relatively good deal. Sure, it’s pretty bare bones, but a rent payment of $800 (with a roommate, of course) is tough to beat.

The unit in this owner-occupied home is situated steps from Roslindale Village. The second-floor apartment offers a washer and dryer, and will be painted before new tenants move in.
