Over the past 3 to 6 months, Boston’s rental market has experienced a sharp rebound across all unit sizes following a period of decline. Studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartment rents have all increased notably, with three-bedroom units now averaging nearly $6,000 per month—surpassing their 12-month high. This resurgence is likely driven by renewed demand during the spring leasing season, limited available housing stock, and a return to in-person work for many residents. As of Q2 2025, the median rent in Boston stands at approximately $3,500 per month.
