If you didn’t know already, Boston has the third highest median rent price after San Francisco and New York. And you might be thinking, “Wow. These places are really expensive. What would I be able to do with that money that I spent on my apartment?” Thankfully, Zumper has you covered. Here is our comprehensive list of things to do for the same price (or lower) than the money you’d spend on a monthly rent for a Boston apartment.
1. Charter A Private Jet

For the monthly price of this apartment, you can get rent a private jet for a weekend trip from Detroit to Chicago. Who needs a high-rise when you can live the high-life? Literally.

Apartment Rental Price: $19,000/month
This pricey Boston apartment is packed with a butler-style pantry, a wine fridge ad a private roof deck with fabulous views of Cambridge and the Charles. But did you know that for one month’s rent, you could also charter a giant luxury yacht in Turkey for an entire week. Lesson learned? The only way to tell if it’s REALLY high class is if its the same price as a yacht.
3. Rent a Private Island

For the monthly rate of this two-bedroom South End apartment, you can rent a private island in the British Virgin Islands for five nights.

4. Have a Famous Musician or Band Perform at Your Event

Apartment Rental Price: $18,000/month
Instead of renting this Back Bay apartment for a month, you can have artists from the likes of Portugal the Man, Vanessa Carlton and Shwayze perform live music at your own party. Nothing says opulence like renting a rapper.
5. Rent a Castle

Apartment Rental Price: $9,209/month
Maybe you need a Commonwealth three-bedroom apartment. Or maybe you need a 10-bedroom castle in Southwest England during Christmas or New Years with housekeeping, daily breakfasts and a swimming pool. It really just depends on what you’re in the mood for.
6. Rent a Museum

The Observation Tower stands 144 feet tall and provides 360 panoramic views of the Golden Gate city.

Apartment Rental Price: $12,000
For $450, you can have a personal chef make you and one other person delicious gourmet meals in your own home five times a week for an entire six months. That’s about $11,700, which is $300 cheaper than this apartment. Food comes before shelter on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Just saying.
8. Buy 20 Tickets to a Beyonce (and Jay-Z) Concert

Apartment Rental Price: $6,845/month
In 2014, the average price for the Beyonce and Jay-Z Concert Tour was $342.67. This means that with the cash you’d blow on this 3-bedroom Harborview rental, you could buy yourself and 19 of your closest, or at least soon-to-be closest friends tickets to a Beyonce concert. Who(‘d) run the world? You.
