More choices. Higher rents. Low vacancy.

Somerville–Tufts availability has risen sharply, but vacancy remains low as asking rents climb and the market enters its seasonal leasing peak.

SOMERVILLE–TUFTS OFF-CAMPUS MARKET

More inventory is testing a higher price ceiling.

The Somerville side of the Tufts off-campus housing market follows a distinct leasing cycle, with apartment availability typically building through late summer and peaking around September. Renters have considerably more choices than they did a year ago, yet Somerville–Tufts asking rents have continued to rise and still command a premium within the area surrounding campus.

Occupancy has remained comparatively strong despite the increase in advertised availability. The coming leasing period will show whether Tufts-area demand can absorb this inventory at current asking prices or whether apartments that remain available will face greater pricing competition.

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.
