    $$$$ Boston area is so expensive!! I'll stay slightly in the country and pay 1680 for the mortgage and taxes on my single family home that is 1800 square feet, two free garage spots included! Screw apartment living in the city, between the high cost and noise, there is nothing better than sitting on my deck looking out at the acres of conservation land and listening to the birds chirp and the rustle of all the little chipmunks and squirrels. You do you girl, but I could not live like that, traffic noise and tiny spaces... Enjoy your new place!!

    Oh my…….i feel for you! I am facing the same…..moving from my three bedroom, three bath house with finished basement to a condo apartment! It has one washroom, Master and small second bedroom. I know it will look like yours once I move furniture and a mass of boxes into it. I’m terrified! I feel anxious every day snd I’m not moving until next summer. The condo is under construction and I have to sell my house next Spring. I need to move close to my daughter because of my age, impending health issues and desire to see my grand kiddies. It’s a must do but it hurts. So much in the way of purging and give always. So many attached memories and money spent! Young people don’t collect anymore………a smart decision. Good luck!

    Beautiful place in a nice area. I lived in Malden decades ago. I was living in a house that was converted to four tiny tiny itty bitty little one person apartments. I guess a studio would be the proper name. I was paying 525 a month which was high at that time. It was a very old house, and my apartment was in the back on the first floor. It was a room, a tiny bathroom and a kitchen you only used to cook and store food in and a sink. The kitchen had zero room for even a chair. It was the size of a small hallway with the little fridge, stove and oven and sink along the wall. The windows were like basement windows, they were small and high up so I couldn't really see outside...except the kitchen had one window I could see the next-door place. I had one parking space which was worth the price of the rent in and of itself. It was a walking distance to the orange line...I believe it was the orange line. That train could take me straight into Boston or connect to the airport. I think I was there for two years before I moved to Florida like your friend.

I am a single woman and have own my own house for the past 8 years, I do as much of the stuff as I can as far as maintenance and pay for someone to do the more complicated stuff! I pay 1680 a month for a single family home with two car garage and that includes taxes! These tiny apartments are such a rip off, BUT I know some people like the city, so different strokes for different folks!

    Your rent isn’t much more in Massachusetts than a lot of us here in Arizona are paying. Only difference is yours actually seems to be worth it. I’m paying close to $2,000 for a 2 bedroom that’s about the same size as the ones you showed. If you go a little further east of us then you’re looking at twice the cost.
