Frequently asked questions

  • How many apartments for rent are available in West Roxbury?

    The supply is small and it moves. A brokerage feed counted 67 available apartments across West Roxbury in mid-September, against a vacancy rate of about 2.18 percent. Roomster currently shows 34 for the neighborhood. Nearly all of it falls into two categories: a floor of a two-family house on a residential street, or a unit in one of the few purpose-built buildings along the main roads. There is very little in between, so decide which you want before you begin comparing.

  • How much does it cost to rent an apartment in West Roxbury?

    Averages run about $1,856 for a studio, $2,639 for a one-bedroom and $3,239 for a two-bedroom, with three-bedrooms close behind at $3,466 and four-bedrooms near $4,425. You can find apartments under $2,400 along Upper Washington Street and toward the Dedham line, generally in older two-family houses without lifts or on-site management. For context, the neighborhood's median gross rent across all tenants sits near $2,184, which reflects long-standing tenancies as much as current asking prices.

  • Are there apartments for rent near West Roxbury's commuter rail stations?

    All three stations sit inside the neighborhood and all three are in Fare Zone 1, which is the cheapest commuter rail band. Bellevue stands at 35 Colbert Street, Highland at Corey and Hastings Streets, and West Roxbury station at 450 Lagrange Street. The latter two each provide 175 parking spaces, so driving to the platform is a normal pattern here rather than a failure. Ridership is modest, around 338 daily boardings at Highland and 356 at West Roxbury, which tells you these are neighborhood stops rather than crowded ones.

  • Which apartment buildings are there in West Roxbury?

    Only a handful, and they are worth knowing by name because everything else is somebody's two-family. The purpose-built stock clusters on the main roads: Oak Row at 1235 VFW Parkway, Parkway Apartments at 1555 VFW Parkway and Ridgecrest Village at 5120 Washington Street. Those give you on-site management, parking and a lease with a company rather than a person. A two-family floor usually gives you more space and a yard for similar money, with the trade-off that maintenance depends on an individual owner.

  • Are there apartments for rent near West Roxbury's parks and open space?

    This is the greenest corner of Boston and it shapes where people choose to rent. Millennium Park, built on a capped former landfill above the Charles River, gives the neighborhood roughly a hundred acres of playing fields and walking paths, and the Brook Farm historic site sits beside it on land once farmed by a nineteenth-century utopian community. Apartments on the western streets toward Riverdale and the river put both within walking distance, which is the trade most renters here are actually making.

  • Are there no-broker-fee apartments for rent in West Roxbury?

    Almost all of them, in practice. Every listing displayed on a recent sweep of the neighborhood advertised no broker fee to the renter, which reflects both the Massachusetts change from August 2025 and the fact that so many units here are let directly by the owner living downstairs rather than through an agency. That makes the up-front cost noticeably lower than in the parts of Boston where a fee is still normal. Confirm it in writing before you tour, and ask whether the owner handles showings personally.
