RentLuna shows the fees — we don't hide them. Some owners cover the broker fee or offer a concession ($0 to you). On open listings the owner already pays their own agent, so MA law has the fee compensate the agent you're connected with here. You'll see the estimated move-in cost before you tour. How fees work

South Boston — "Southie" — has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in Boston's recent history. Once a tight-knit Irish-American community, it now blends that heritage with the gleaming Seaport District, packed with new restaurants, hotels, and tech companies. Castle Island, L Street Beach, and Carson Beach offer waterfront recreation, while Broadway is lined with restaurants and bars. The St. Patrick's Day parade remains a beloved tradition. Southie attracts young professionals drawn to the Seaport's energy, though rents have risen significantly with the area's popularity.
