Great location - alright everything else

If you're looking to live alone close to school, it doesn't get better than Buswell St. It's conveniently located next to 3 T stations, St. Mary's/Beacon St and the law school. The downsides: it's super old, the rooms are small, and there's very little natural sunlight.

If you're looking for a stereotypical New England appt, Buswell is for you. I've had rats, cockroaches, moths, beetles, and no air conditioning. But the walk to BU Campus is just over 5 minutes and parallels Beacon, making the amenities nearby amazing. I enjoy the studio space, even if it is small. Buswell is a fixer-upper but it can be fixed.

You get what you pay for

Cheap housing rental (for Boston) in a great location. Can't really expect much at the price you're paying.

Great value for a great location.

Great value for an amazing location. Quick 5 minute walk to the law school. It is a lifesaver not needing to rely on the Green Line to get to school. BU Property Management also provides great maintenance services!

Okay apartment, but lots of little issues

The apartment has had many issues, from broken appliances to insects. Management usually seems open to helping but they can occasionally take their time. When they do, it is hard to track them down and find out the reason for the delay.

Reviewed by New England Law Student living at Our Lady’s Guild House
Great neighborhood! There are plenty of shops and bars and restuarants nearby to explore. It is also very close to transit areas. It's generally quiet, except on game days at Fenway. On game days, the streets and roads become very crowded and can get loud. It's not very loud from my apartment, I don't notice it, but it can change depending on where you live. There are stores and markets for shopping and groceries within close walking distance. The location downtown is great for me.
Reviewed by BU Public Health Student living at 105 Peterborough St
Fenway is a fun place to live as a young adult. There is a lot of great options for food, entertainment and shopping nearby. It is not necessarily a quiet place, but that aslo comes with the fun of always having something to do nearby. For the most part it is a safe place to live and convenient location.
Reviewed by BU Questrom Grad Student living at 14 Buswell
The neighborhood has a target at 10 mins walk, dominos, USPS, and 2 other restaurants at 3 mins walk, questrom college at 7 mins walk, and two t-line stations at 6 mins walk. It safe around to go for jogging.

It has a residential feel even though it's right downtown. Everything you need is right in the neighborhood, including a grocery store, CVS, hardware store, liquor store, etc.

It is a good place. Easy to access also it has tons of cafes, groceries, and restaurant

Amazing food, close to target, museums (MFA and ISG), and the fens
Reviewed by Boston Resident living at 25 Queensberry St.
West Fens is, in my opinion, the best place to live in Boston. Pros: short commute downtown, plenty of transit options, lots to do (bars, restaurants, etc)., near plenty of stores (grocery store, TARGET!, Marshall's, etc.), quiet streets, and right next to the Fens for when you want your nature fix. I don't have any cons, personally. It's my ideal location.
Reviewed by Boston Resident living at 1167 Boylston Street, Boston, MA
The Fenway area is a great place to live. You've got the green line (I know) right there that will take you pretty much anywhere. Lots of bars and restaurants and a grocery store as well. It's a good place for undergrads and I found it very enjoyable living there.
