Student-heavy neighborhood with affordable rent, vibrant nightlife, and diverse dining
Allston is Boston's quintessential student neighborhood, home to a thriving community of college students, recent graduates, and budget-conscious renters. Known locally as "Allston Rock City" for its indie music scene, the area features an incredible variety of international restaurants, dive bars, and music venues. The annual "Allston Christmas" on September 1 — Boston's massive moving day — has become a cultural phenomenon. Despite its party reputation, Allston offers genuinely affordable rents by Boston standards and excellent Green Line B access to downtown.
