EAST BOSTON RENTAL MARKET

New housing is expanding choice while demand keeps pace.

New development and normal turnover have created a broader pool of available apartments in East Boston. Renters now have more options than they did during recent supply shortages, but listings continue to move through the market at a healthy pace.

Waterfront access, transit connections, and proximity to downtown continue to support demand. With new inventory helping relieve pressure on supply, rent growth has moderated and the neighborhood is moving toward a more balanced rental market.

Understanding the numbers

Data sources. Boston Pads calculates rental market statistics using its extensive real-time apartment listing and leasing data. That data is collected through its network of Boston-area property owners, property managers, real estate professionals, integrated listing platforms, and MLS databases. The statistics displayed on this page are refreshed daily.

Availability and vacancy. RTAR (Real-Time Availability Rate) is the percentage of apartments that are either currently vacant and available or currently occupied with a confirmed future availability date. RTVR (Real-Time Vacancy Rate) is the percentage of currently vacant apartments available for lease.

Percent change. Changes compare the current value with an earlier value using (current − earlier) ÷ earlier × 100. A change is omitted when the earlier value is zero or either value is unavailable.
