Median asking rent by neighborhood
N is the number of listings behind each figure. Any cell with fewer than 20 is suppressed — the sample isn't big enough to mean anything.

By building type
Multi-family homes, brownstones, condos, apartments — they don't price the same in Boston. Here's what each building type is actually going for right now.

How we calculate this
Each Friday morning we snapshot every active listing on Spot Easy and partner sources across Greater Boston — Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Newton, Everett, Quincy, Watertown, and Malden. We exclude drafts, listings removed by admins, and asking rents below $500 or above $20,000 (typical bad-data territory). We dedupe across sources by address + unit number, normalize bedroom counts into Studio/1/2/3/4+, and require at least 20 active listings in any cell before publishing it. The resulting median is the one shown.
This isn't a transaction price. It's the median asking rent for what's currently listed — same as Zillow's ZORI or Apartment List's index, but built specifically for Greater Boston using Spot Easy's verified-agent inventory. Want the raw data? Download the CSV.
