Affordable housing remains a big concern for many in Boston and according to real estate research site, Zumper.com, it is with good reason. While all of Boston remains expensive, the downtown neighborhoods and parts of Cambridge median rents are north of $2,700 a month for a one bedroom apartment.
Below I’ve included Zumper.com list of ten most expensive cities based on one bedroom median rents from January 2016. Boston gets a bronze medal, coming in with the third most expensive median rent – a dubious honor no doubt.

I grew up in the suburbs and they aren’t for me. Cities (not just Boston) can solve this issue, but it will take a commitment from local and state gov’t along with continued pressure from n’hoods demanding more from developers to make this happen. I have no issue paying a premium living in a city. I just want to make sure anyone who wants to call Boston home can do it.
