Not to worry! Boston has plenty of neighborhoods with apartment options and easy transportation downtown. Today we want to highlight East Boston, known to locals as Eastie. We\u2019ll talk about everything Eastie, from rent to seafood, so you can get a feel for this area of Boston!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rent and Transportation in East Boston<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Like everywhere in the city, rent in East Boston has been on the rise, but<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonpads.com\/blog\/boston-rental-market\/2022-east-boston-apartment-rental-market-report\/#:~:text=Still%2C%20rent%20prices%20remain%20reasonable%20in%20Eastie%20compared%20to%20the%20rest%20of%20Boston.%20The%20average%20rent%20price%20in%20East%20Boston%20is%20over%20%24250%20less%20than%20that%20of%20Boston%2C%20and%20it%20remains%20one%20of%20the%20more%20affordable%20places%20to%20rent%20an%20apartment%20in%20Boston\">remains more affordable<\/a><\/strong> than many other areas. The average rent for a<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/massachusetts\/east-boston-apartments\/rent-trends\">2-bedroom<\/a> <\/strong>apartment in Eastie is $2,200. If you\u2019re looking for a<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartments.com\/east-boston-ma\/3-bedrooms\/?so=2\">3-bedroom<\/a>, <\/strong>you can usually find a good place for $2,400-$2,600.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For transportation in East Boston, you\u2019ll be using the Blue Line, the branch of the Boston subway that stretches from Revere, MA to downtown Boston. The Blue Line is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcvb.com\/article\/which-mbta-trains-are-the-least-reliable-we-crunched-the-numbers\/29384892#\">known for its reliability<\/a>, <\/strong>with trains coming every 7-10 minutes during the week. An easy ride on the Blue Line and a short connection on the Green Line at Government Center will get you to the heart of downtown and Emerson\u2019s campus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re also close to the airport&nbsp; in East Boston. The Boston Logan Airport is the neighborhood\u2019s most well-known feature, and it\u2019s just an easy bus or subway ride away. If you\u2019re a transplant like me, and Boston is far from home, it\u2019s&nbsp; convenient living so close to the airport, especially during the holiday rush when roads are hectic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"590\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/COMPRESSED-East-boston-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Blue line stopped at Government Center\" class=\"wp-image-2944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/COMPRESSED-East-boston-photo-2.jpg 590w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/COMPRESSED-East-boston-photo-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><figcaption>Blue Line at Government Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdoors in East Boston<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With plenty of dog parks, playgrounds, and cozy courtyards, East Boston has outdoor fun for everyone!

One great attraction is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icaboston.org\/ica-watershed\">Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Watershed<\/a>. <\/strong>Formerly a condemned copper pipe facility, the ICA Watershed is a great place to take in some art.

There\u2019s something for everyone here, and it\u2019s only a 10 minute walk from the Blue Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostoncentral.com\/activities\/piers-park-east-boston\/p2416.php\">Piers Park<\/a> <\/strong>is also a lovely destination in Eastie. Located right on the harbor, Piers Park has a great view of the Boston skyline and a 600-foot promenade along the water.
