Dorchester, Boston apartment availability

Dorchester's rental market offers a good selection of listings, with an average of 24 rentals available each month. The majority of these listings are 2-bedroom apartments, followed closely by 1-bedroom and 3-bedroom units. Many of these apartments offer convenient amenities, including on-site laundry and dishwashers, which are available in over 60% of rentals. Additionally, more than half of the apartments in Dorchester allow cats, making it a suitable neighborhood for pet owners. With a range of options to choose from, renters can find a home that fits their needs in this Boston neighborhood.

Dorchester, Boston rental market trends

Dorchester's rental market experienced a slight decline in 2024, with the average monthly rent decreasing by approximately 3% to $2,982. Breaking it down by bed count, 1-bedrooms saw a significant drop of nearly 10% to $2,777, while 2-bedrooms increased by 2% to $3,170. The average rent for 3-bedrooms rose by 7% to $3,678, and studios remained relatively stable with a 0.2% increase to $2,652.

The summer months tend to see the highest demand and prices in Dorchester, with July typically being the most expensive month. In fact, July's average rent is a whopping 37% higher than December's, the lowest month. If you're looking for a new apartment, be prepared for competition during the summer. On the other hand, if you're flexible with your move-in date, consider searching during the winter months, when prices are lower and the market is less competitive. December, in particular, may be a good time to find a new apartment, as it's the least competitive month.

Why Dorchester, Boston is a great place to live

Dorchester stands out as a prime neighborhood for individuals prioritizing environmental sustainability and a vibrant social life.

Community solar projects and low-flow fixtures further contribute to its green credentials. Additionally, Dorchester's parks and recreation spaces, along with its high walk score and excellent transit options, make it an attractive choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

The neighborhood also thrives on its social scene, thanks to a dense and diverse population, well-designed street infrastructure, and a strong emphasis on safety. With frequent transit options connecting residents to the wider Boston area, Dorchester offers the perfect blend of community living and accessibility, making it an ideal location for those seeking an active, environmentally conscious lifestyle amidst a lively urban setting.
