Overview & Location Context
June Homes 02145 is a shared-living property located in the 02145 postal area of Boston, Massachusetts. The property operates under the June Homes brand and offers a mix of room types in shared houses. The address is listed as MA 02145, USA, which places it in the greater Somerville/Spring Hill vicinity, roughly 3–4 miles north of downtown Boston. Residents can reach Boston University, Tufts University, and Northeastern University by public transit or bicycle within 20–40 minutes, depending on the campus.
The property is one of 27 listings in the Boston market from the same platform. The city’s lowest available monthly price across all properties is $875 (indicative — confirm with the operator). June Homes 02145 starts at $1,175 per month, positioning it above the market floor but still below the typical cost of a solo studio in central Boston.
Who This Residence Suits
Students and young professionals needing a short-to-medium lease. The minimum lease term is 7 months, which is shorter than many standard 12-month leases in Boston. This makes the property a reasonable option for someone on an academic calendar who arrives in fall and leaves in spring, or for a young professional on a temporary assignment.
Those comfortable with shared living. The property offers units in 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom configurations, as well as a “branded independent house” category — likely a whole-house rental managed under the June Homes system. If you are used to living with housemates and value a modest private room within a larger group, this setup may work.
Budget-conscious individuals looking to avoid the highest downtown rents. At $1,175–$1,325 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), the property is cheaper than most one-bedroom apartments in the same city, which often exceed $2,000. For a room in a shared house, the price is competitive when compared to other student-oriented housing near Tufts or Northeastern.
Residents who want basic in-unit appliances. Tags indicate the property includes a TV, refrigerator, and microwave. These are standard but useful for cooking and entertainment without needing to buy your own.
Who Might Look Elsewhere
Anyone needing a private studio or one-bedroom. June Homes 02145 does not offer solo units. All listed room types are shared houses (4b, 5b, or branded independent house). If you require a private apartment, you will need to look at other properties in the Boston market, likely at a higher price.
Those who prefer a longer lease for stability. The 7-month minimum is flexible upward? The data only shows a minimum, not a maximum. However, if you need a 12-month commitment, you might find other listings that offer that length. The property may allow extensions, but that is not confirmed in the data.
Travelers or interns needing extremely short stays (1–3 months). With a 7-month minimum, this property won’t suit a summer intern who only needs June–August. Such renters should look for sublets or other short-term options in Boston.
People requiring on-site gym, laundry, or concierge amenities. The tags list only TV, refrigerator, and microwave. No mention of laundry, parking, or fitness facilities. If you need those, you may need to check other properties with a higher price point.
No published resident reviews are available at this time. This makes it harder to gauge noise levels, management responsiveness, or neighbor quality. If you rely heavily on past resident feedback, you may want to wait for more reviews or request virtual tour comments from the operator.
Price Positioning vs City Average
Boston’s minimum price across all properties on the platform is $875 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). June Homes 02145 starts $300 higher, at $1,175 per month. The top end of the price range is $1,325.
- City floor: $875
- June Homes 02145 range: $1,175 – $1,325
- Difference from floor: +$300 to +$450
Given that the city floor likely represents a small room in a less central location or a special promotion, the June Homes 02145 price is within a moderate band. Relative to the typical rent for a shared room near university campuses in Boston (often $1,000–$1,500), the property sits in the middle of that range.
The deposit of $119 is notably low — much less than one month’s rent (which would be $1,175+). This may be a reduced deposit, a holding fee, or a cleaning deposit. Confirm with the operator what the $119 covers and whether additional security deposits apply.
Room Type Guidance
The property lists three unit types:
- 4b – a four-bedroom shared house.
- 5b – a five-bedroom shared house.
- Branded independent house – likely a whole house managed under the June Homes brand, possibly rented by one person or a group, or used for larger shared occupancy.
If you are looking for a private room within a shared house, the 4b or 5b options are likely what will be offered. The “branded independent house” might be an entire unit rented to a single tenant or group, but the data does not specify. Clarify with the property operator whether that unit type is for shared or individual use.
Room sizes, floor levels, and window availability are not specified in the data. When booking, ask for exact room dimensions and whether the room is interior or exterior-facing.
Booking Timing Considerations
The property does not show an “available from” date in the data. This could mean rooms are available immediately or on a rolling basis. Since the minimum lease is 7 months, the best booking window depends on your start date:
- If you need housing for the academic year (September–April): Start searching in early spring (March–May) for the following fall. Rooms in shared houses near Boston universities tend to fill quickly.
- If you need a mid-year start (January): Look starting in October–November. Many leases turn over in January.
- If you can be flexible: Last-minute availability may exist, but the price could remain near the upper end of the range ($1,325).
Because prices are indicative, confirm with the operator before planning a budget. Also ask if the rent includes utilities (electricity, water, internet) — the data does not cover that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the $119 deposit refundable?
The data shows a deposit of $119, which is much lower than a typical month’s rent. You should confirm directly with the June Homes operator whether this amount is refundable at the end of the lease, or if it covers a cleaning fee. Industry standard for refundable deposits is often one month’s rent, so $119 is unusual — question it.
Can I rent a private room in the 4b or 5b unit?
Yes, the property lists 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom units, which typically means individual rooms are rented out separately. The exact pricing per room is not given, but the overall range ($1,175–$1,325) suggests each resident pays within that band. Make sure to ask which room you will get and whether the price varies by room size.
What is the closest university campus?
The property is located in the 02145 zip code, which is near Tufts University in Medford/Somerville and also within commuting distance to Boston University and Northeastern University. Travel times:
- Tufts University: about 1.5 miles (bus or bike).
- Boston University: about 4 miles (subway or bus).
