Apartments for Rent near Quincy Shore Drive, Quincy, MA

Mga Madalas na Itanong

  • How many apartments for rent are available near Quincy Shore Drive?

    This pocket of Quincy has moved against the wider market lately, with Wollaston one-bedrooms down about 9 percent over the year while two-bedrooms rose roughly 4 percent, so the mix of what is available matters more than a headline average. Roomster lists 2 apartments for rent around Quincy Shore Drive. Most sit in converted two- and three-family houses in the blocks behind the parkway rather than in large complexes, which means availability arrives in ones and twos rather than in blocks of similar units.

  • How much does it cost to rent an apartment near Wollaston Beach?

    Wollaston one-bedrooms now average about $1,850, down from roughly $2,033 a year ago, with two-bedrooms near $2,650 and the neighborhood average around $2,741. North Quincy runs higher, close to $2,852 for a one-bedroom and $3,140 for a two-bedroom. You can find apartments for rent under $2,000 in Norfolk Downs, on the Atlantic side streets and toward Montclair, generally in older two-family houses without lifts or amenities. The buildings that front the parkway sit at the upper end: units at 90 Quincy Shore Drive have listed between about $2,000 and $2,500 for one and two bedrooms.

  • Which apartments for rent actually front Quincy Shore Drive?

    Only a short list, and they are worth knowing by name because the parkway is otherwise lined by reservation land. Addresses such as 90, 166 and 175 Quincy Shore Drive, along with Quincy Commons just off it, face the water directly, and the largest of those units are substantial: one two-bedroom of about 1,878 square feet has asked $3,900. What you buy is the outlook the parkway was designed around, with tree-lined medians and views across the outer harbor toward Boston. What you trade is traffic on a four-lane road and a busy shoreline for four months of the year.

  • What should I know about flooding before renting an apartment on Quincy Shore Drive?

    Treat it as a known feature of the address rather than a remote risk. The state's own assessment identifies Quincy Shore Drive as one of the most vulnerable parkways in its system, and the agency has been developing resilience concepts for it, while the road itself has shut during storm tides in 2012, 2018, 2019 and again during storms in 2023 and 2024. For an apartment that means asking specific questions: which floor the unit is on, whether parking and storage sit at grade, whether the building has taken water before, and how the landlord handles access when the parkway closes.

  • Are there apartments for rent along Quincy Shore Drive that suit drivers?

    Parking is the deciding factor, and it is tighter than the wide-open road suggests, because the angled spaces along the promenade belong to the beach rather than to residents. Ask whether a deeded or assigned space comes with the apartment before anything else. Be aware too that the parkway is under active work: the right lane and adjoining sidewalk of the southbound side, from Carle Road to Sea Street, are closed from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. through the start of December 2026 for lighting and sidewalk repairs, so factor that into a daily drive while it lasts.

  • Are there furnished or heat-included apartments for rent near the shore?

    Heat included is the more common of the two and worth hunting for in this housing stock. Quincy Commons, just off the parkway, advertises heat and hot water in the rent, and a number of the older two- and three-family houses behind the beach run a single heating system for the building, with the cost folded into what you pay. That matters on an exposed shoreline where winter wind is hard on an older building. Furnished units are rarer and tend to be owner-occupied condominiums let for part of the year, so ask about the length of term before you tour.
