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 $3,600 or less per month—because who has thousands to drop on a rental, anyway?

Below, peruse five four-bedroom apartments for rent in Boston for $3,600 or less per month (or, you know, less than $900 per bedroom).

1. 54 Manthorne Road #2, West Roxbury

If you’ve ever daydreamed of a window seat to curl up with your morning coffee or nighttime tea, this is the unit you’ve been waiting for. The granite counter-topped eat-in kitchen of this duplex flows into a cozy living nook, complete with a large, cushioned window seat. A separate living room offers a fireplace for more cozy hangs, and the rounded dining room is large enough to accommodate all four roommates and their guests.

This home abounds with retro appeal—the interior’s 2,200 square feet of flooring are almost completely covered in mauve carpeting, the living room walls are papered in a faint floral print, and dark wood paneling covers the kitchen walls. The mint green bathroom tiling and red brick fireplace are among the unit’s most unique features. The pup-friendly apartment also sits a block away from a small park with a paved path that winds past a playground, basketball courts, and green spaces.

These bright and modern living quarters are positioned between the Stony Brook and Jackson Square T stations, making for quick access to all of JP and easy transport to the rest of the city. When split four ways, rent is an even $800 per person, and with two full bathrooms and one half, roommates are unlikely to experience the dreaded wait for a morning shower. Available on the first of next month, securing this top floor unit requires no broker fee and comes with free rent for November.

Sunlight saturates this Spring Hill dwelling, illuminating three normal-sized bedrooms and one larger room, big and bright enough for a home office or personal yoga studio.
