Full post: https://bostonpads.com/blog/boston-rental-market/5-neighborhoods-with-the-lowest-rate-of-available-boston-apartments/ Renters in the city of Boston are familiar with the difficulties of searching for Boston apartments, but inventory has reached even lower levels this year. In a previous article, we discussed the 5 neighborhoods with the most Boston apartments available. That is, with the highest Real-Time Availability Rates (RTAR) and therefore apartment options.
