Overview and Location
June Homes 02135 is located in the Allston/Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts (postal code 02135). The property is a flex-lease shared living building operated by June Homes, offering private rooms in multi-bedroom apartments (2-bedroom up to 9+ bedrooms) with shared common areas. The address places it close to major transit corridors and within walking distance of Harvard Avenue’s shops and restaurants.
The city’s median student housing from-price is $875 per month (based on 27 properties in the Amber portfolio), indicating that June Homes 02135 sits slightly above entry-level pricing but offers flexibility and all-inclusive features typical of shared housing providers.
Who This Property Suits
This residence works well for students, interns, or young professionals who need a short-term lease (minimum one month) without going through the application fees and credit checks required by traditional apartments. It is especially suited for:
- New arrivals to Boston who want move-in ready accommodation with furniture, utilities, and WiFi included in the monthly rate.
- Budget-conscious renters willing to share a bedroom (if choosing a room in a larger unit) to keep costs near $925 per month.
- People who value flexibility – the ability to stay for one month or renew month-to-month, with no long-term commitment.
- Individuals who prefer a managed experience – June Homes handles cleaning of common areas, laundry (on-site laundry facility is listed as a tag), and basic maintenance.
The property’s tags include TV, oven, and laundry facility, so residents have access to a full kitchen and can cook meals, which helps control living costs. The building itself is located in a residential area with supermarkets, gyms, and bus stops within short walking distance.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Given the shared living model and non-ensuite room types (bathrooms are shared with other tenants in the unit), this property is not a good fit for:
- Couples or families who need a private bathroom or separate living space.
- Light sleepers or people with low tolerance for noise – shared apartments with up to eight+ roommates can be loud and have varying schedules.
- Those wanting a quiet, private studio or one-bedroom – June Homes 02135 does not offer private apartments; all units are shared.
- People who require a guaranteed room assignment very far in advance – while the property is available for future dates, room availability changes daily and you should confirm with the operator.
If you need a completely independent living unit, consider traditional studio apartments in the Allston area (typically starting around $1,800 per month in 2026).

Positive (5-star) – Dawit Desta:
“I’ve genuinely enjoyed living with June Homes. The moving process was simple, which made settling in easy. The place was clean, comfortable, and felt welcoming from day one.

Negative (1-star) – Sharmila Biswas:
“Andres & Nelly Real Estate agents in New York City- False advertising! June Homes showcase photos in their adds which is far off from reality. It is one thing that photos sometimes don’t match and it is completely different if they are selling furnished units to working professionals and taking a fee for cleaning and n”
The first two reviews highlight a fast move-in and responsive service – a common pattern for shared housing platforms. The negative review warns that marketing photos may not reflect the actual condition of the unit. While June Homes has 1,400 reviews with an average of 4.0, isolated complaints about mismatched photos suggest you should ask for a virtual tour or recent photos before booking.
Price Positioning and Value
- City from-price (Amber portfolio): $875 per month
- June Homes 02135 range: $925–$2,150 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator)
The entry-level rate of $925 is about $50 above the city’s cheapest option for a shared room. The premium reflects the managed service (cleaning, furnishing, utilities, WiFi) and the flexibility of a month-to-month lease. At the upper end ($2,150), you get a private room in a larger apartment (likely a 2-bedroom unit with fewer roommates) — this price point competes with a private studio in lower-cost Boston neighborhoods.
The deposit is $119 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is lower than the typical one-month security deposit required by traditional landlords.
Value note: If you are planning a short-term stay (one to three months), this property likely offers a lower total cost than a conventional lease with broker fees, utility setup, and furniture purchases. For stays of six months or more, a traditional lease with a longer commitment could be cheaper per month.
Room Types and Guidance
June Homes 02135 offers rooms in apartments ranging from 2-bedroom to 9+-bedroom configurations. All room types are non-ensuite (shared bathroom with other tenants in the unit). The specific unit types listed are:
2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom, 6-bedroom, 7-bedroom, and greater-than-8-bedroom.
Guidance on choosing a room:
- Smallest unit (2-bedroom): Typically has only one bathroom shared by two people. This is the most private option among shared units but may cost near the upper end of the price range.
- Larger units (4-bedroom or more): More roommates, lower per-person cost (closer to $925). Bathroom queues may be an issue during peak morning/evening hours. Look for units with at least one bathroom per two bedrooms to balance cost and convenience.
- Greater-than-8-bedroom units: Only suitable for very outgoing, flexible people. The price may still be low, but noise and shared-space conflicts are more likely.
Check the operator’s listing for the exact bedroom type (standard room, medium room, large room) because some rooms have windows and others do not — this can affect rent. Always ask for the specific room ID and floor plan before paying a deposit.
Booking Timing
Because June Homes operates on flexible leases, rooms can become available with very little notice. However, popular periods (late August–September for the fall semester, and January for the spring term) see high demand.
- For a fall 2026 move-in: Begin searching in April 2026. Most flex-lease operators release inventory 4–6 months in advance. Waiting until July may limit your options.
- For a spring 2027 move-in: Look in October 2026.
- For a short-term stay (1–2 months): You can book as little as two weeks in advance, but the best room variety requires 30 days of lead time.
- Late booking (less than 14 days): You may still find a room, but it could be the least desirable (small windowless room, top floor, or oversized unit).
Booking earlier also gives you time to compare the operator’s photos with Google Street View of the building. The negative review cited “false advertising,” so verifying the property’s condition is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum lease term?
The minimum lease period is one month (indicative — confirm with the operator). June Homes generally allows month-to-month contracts after the first month. This makes the property suitable for internships, semesters abroad, or temporary job rotations.
Are utilities and WiFi included in the rent?
Based on typical June Homes listings in Boston, utilities (electricity, water, gas) and high-speed internet are usually included in the monthly price. However, this is not explicitly stated in the provided data — you must confirm with the operator before signing. The deposit ($119) is listed separately; it is likely a refundable deposit.
How do I know which room I will get?
You will be assigned a specific bedroom within an apartment. The operator should provide the room number or letter, floor plan, and photos of the actual room. The negative review from Sharmila Biswas suggests that photos on the website can be misleading. Request a video call or ask for recent photos of the exact unit to avoid surprises.
