One of the many adjustments we have made in recent months is to substantially increase our ability to provide virtual tours of available apartments. To be sure, a video tour is not able to provide the same experience as physically walking through a potential home. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many changes in searching for apartments in and around Boston.
Our main library of apartment virtual tours is here.
We are striving to keep this library continuously updated, but we highly encourage you to connect with our Rental Team. Our experienced team can answer questions you may have about apartments you have virtually toured, and they can also perform a comprehensive review of our available apartments to help make sure you see all available options that match your criteria.

As we know, many COVID-19 patients end up alone and isolated, without their phones in the hospital. In extreme circumstances, they’re unable to see or say "goodbye" to loved ones due to prohibitions on hospital [...]
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a major impact on Boston's real estate market. Many different factors are at play.
