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 for rent in Roslindale—because who doesn’t want easy access to Arnold Arboretum, the Commuter Rail and a slew of buses, and much more modest rents than downtown Boston?

Below, peruse five really pretty apartments for rent in Roslindale.
