When to start your Fenway apartment search
Most Greater Boston leases turn over on September 1, and Fenway is no exception. Inventory builds through late spring and early summer for fall move-ins, then tightens sharply in August as students and young professionals lock in leases. If you're targeting a September 1 start, the strongest selection is usually six to eight weeks out; for other move-in dates, listings refresh year-round but the best ones move within days. We refresh these Fenway numbers every week so you can time your search to the live market.

How we calculate this
Each week we snapshot every active listing on Spot Easy across Greater Boston, exclude drafts, admin-removed listings, and asking rents below $500 or above $20,000, dedupe by address + unit, and normalize bedroom counts into Studio / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4+. We require at least 20 active listings in a cell before publishing its median; thinner cells are suppressed. Figures are median asking rents, not signed-lease prices.
Sample sizes this week (N): Studio 207 · 1BR 294 · 2BR 201 · 3BR 82.
