Over the past 3 to 6 months, Boston’s rental market has continued a sharp rebound across all unit sizes following last year’s period of decline. Studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartment rents have all climbed steadily, with three-bedroom units now averaging $6,000 per month, surpassing prior highs. This acceleration is being fueled by sustained demand during the peak leasing season, a tight housing supply, and the ongoing return to in-person work for many residents. As of Q3 2025, the median rent in Boston stands at approximately $3,550 per month.
