This furnished apartment is located in Allston, which is adjacent to the neighborhood of Brighton. The two areas are often grouped together and are commonly referred to as 'Allston-Brighton'. Three major universities are located in and around Allston: Boston University, Harvard University and Berklee College of Music. Therefore, the area is full of students and young professionals. Home to various small businesses and restaurants, Brighton Avenue, between Packard's Corner and Allston Street, boasts various cuisines from all around the world. Harvard Avenue hosts a number of furniture stores, thrift shops, and stores that offer items for resale. This is due to the large student body and high tenant turnover. There is also a vibrant music scene here. Allston has several live music venues and recording studios. In addition there’s even an annual parade which features many local acts. Allston can be reached via the “B” Branch of the MBTA Green Line.
