About 42 S Huntington Ave #2
We are now starting a waitlist for these highly sought-after 1 Bedroom apartments, located just steps from the Green Line train and only half a mile from the Longwood Medical Area. This is truly an unbeatable location! Applicants must have **excellent credit, a co-signer, or be here on a visa.** The management is particular about credit scores, but if you are on a visa, you are eligible to rent even without U.S. credit history. Move-in costs include first month’s rent, last month’s rent, a refundable security deposit (equivalent to one month’s rent), and a broker fee (equivalent to one month’s rent). These costs are **non-negotiable**, but a **payment plan may be possible** IF your move in is September 1. ALL funds must be received prior to receiving keys. The property is clean, professionally managed, and ideally located on the Green Line (E-Train) and #39 Bus, providing easy access to the entire city. Heat and hot water are included in the rent. Looking ahead to fall? Good news — we just released a dozen more studios for September 1. Text or email now for the full list before someone else with faster Wi-Fi snags your spot. These studios on South Huntington Avenue are a dream for international students, medical interns, and serious scholars who want peace, quiet, and a solid location without paying triple digits for a shoebox. You’ll be within easy reach of the Longwood hospitals, MCPHS, MassArt, Simmons, and more — plus you’re right on the E Line and surrounded by useful bus routes like the 39, 66, and 60. The building is clean, calm, and drama-free. It’s single occupancy, no pets, no surprise drum circles in the hallway — just a solid place to live while you take on the academic world. US citizens need excellent credit — this landlord takes FICO scores very seriously. International students? You’re in luck — you’re automatically approved with a valid visa and paperwork. No US credit history required. Move-in costs are first, last, one-month security (refundable), and a broker fee. Not flexible, but still one of the best deals in town. If you’re an international student or academic professional who wants to live smart, study hard, and still afford groceries, this is the one. Reach out now and secure your space before the fall rush hits. We’ve started a waitlist for these highly sought-after studios, just steps from the Green Line and only half a mile from the Longwood Medical Area—an unbeatable location for 2026 renters! CONTACT JAN TO GET ON THE WAITLIST NOW! Studios are expected to range from $1,550–$2,100. Most units will be available for move-in on September 1, 2026. Occasionally, one or two may open up earlier, but this is not guaranteed. Requirements: • Excellent credit, a co-signer, or an approved student/work visa. (Visa holders can rent without U.S. credit.) • No pets (service animals and ESAs are not considered pets) • Single occupancy only Move-in costs include: – First month’s rent – Last month’s rent – Refundable security deposit (one month’s rent) – Broker fee (one month’s rent) This is an OPEN listing. I was not hired by the owner or property management company. Like many brokers, I have access to thousands of shared listings across the city. These fees are non-negotiable, but payment plans may be possible. All funds must be received before move-in. :) These are some of the most affordable and best-maintained studios in the area, professionally managed, with heat & hot water included. Located directl..
