Towards the West of the city of Boston, lies Allston, a town with a rich history and an even more colorful present. Allston is largely separated from the rest of Boston because Brookline covers its borders in the south and east while the Charles River flows past the northern end leaving only a tiny strip close to Fenway-Kenmore that still joins it to Boston. Because of its diverse population and interesting mix of professionals and students, Allston is a great choice for those looking for apartments close to their work places or colleges and universities. For Harvard University students, a part of which lies in Lower Allston, Allston is one of the Boston neighborhoods that are easy to access. Similarly, if you have rented an apartment in Allston, you can easily access Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University and Berklee College of Music.
Allston Village is the hub of most student-centric activities in Allston. Rock shows, the Village Street Fair, farmers market and lots of music are all features of Allston that make it very attractive for young adults and students. Lower Allston, also called North Allston, offers single and multi-story family homes and has a lower student population as compared to the rest of Allston. So, if you are a family looking for Allston apartments for rent or for sale, Lower Allston definitely deserves a shot.
