Living On Beacon Hill

I was living in Newton before moving to the Hill.
I was looking for a place in town and everybody was telling me that it was too expensive.
Once I started looking, I found that living in Boston is actually cheaper than living in Watertown!
Although I have nothing against Watertown, it isn’t tops on my list for a place I would want to live.....
The Real Estate Agent I found is named Mark, actually, there was more than one Mark in this particular office, which I suspect is to keep people from getting confused... or would that get them more confused?
Anyway, Mark was more than helpful and honest. He set me up with a nice place, thats a decent size and reasonable rent.
The basement apartment I had on a one way side street in Newton turned out to be more expensive than this new place in Beacon Hill.
The apartment has windows on three sides and is a raised first floor!
Once I was actually living in Boston, I came to realize that is is indeed cheaper and healthier to live here.
Everything is within walking distance. That in itself cuts costs. The only time living in Boston really gets expensive is when you want to leave town!
You don’t need a car living in the city. As I mentioned, you can walk everywhere. And the walking is good for your health!
From where I am sitting as I type this, food and such is only a five minute walk down that way...
Post office and more food, a five minute walk that other way...
The train, Common, or Public Garden is only five minutes away up that way....
Beacon Hill apartments can be expensive if you don’t know where to look, but there are some landlords here that care more for the people than for the excess cash flow.
Some will rent to anybody just to keep the money flowing. I was lucky enough to find one that doesn’t rent to college kids!
Not all Real Estate Agents are the same, but I can happily recommend Mark and if anyone wants his contact info, drop me a line!
