It looks really nice. What's the new address? (Or, "3 blocks in which direction?" if you don't want that posted here.)

the gmaps link is pretty good -- it's a couple houses down from that. I don't know the actual address on Allston though :) 236 or 246 or something like that.

Nice. I think you'll be the same walking distance from my dorm as you are now :)

Allston! I have another friend living there, too! She's posted pics of her house and neighborhood and it looks wonderful. I envy you the hardwood floor!

but yikes! I don't envy you the rent! Three bedroom houses near downtown in yuppie-fied areas go for about 2/3 of that here.

Heh. It's about 30% less than we're paying now, so it's a significant drop -- and the location means that we should be able to keep doing what we currently are for the Erie St. Landlord -- that is, being the 'man on the spot' for repairs and stuff, cause she's old and lives far away. So that means that the rent is about $2100 after taking that into consideration. If we were willing to move 6 blocks south, we could get something down in the high $1800-low $1900 range, but the location here really matters, since the area is where the girls friends go to the park and stuff like that. So we just went with it -- and we'll make do somehow.

Note that 'allston' in this case is 'allston st., Cambridge' not the town of Allston :)

oic! hmmm, not sure if she was on Allston st. or in Allston town - she worked at Radcliffe for a time and is still in the Boston area. I'll have to check and see...
