Beautiful 3 BHK close to BC with a pond behind the house!!!

Hi everyone!

I’m a 6th year PhD student in Economics at Boston College, and I’m looking for someone to take over my room in a spacious 3 bed / 1 bath apartment at 172 Lake St, Brighton.

The apartment is about a 15-minute walk to the Economics...
Department, and I’ve really enjoyed living here for the past 2 years.

A few details:

Rent: $1,100/month

Utilities: usually around $50–60/month

Spacious living room, dining room, balcony, backyard, and driveway parking

Chandler Pond is right behind the house — great for evening walks and relaxing outdoors

Roommates:

One roommate (F) has a dog named Cleo, but she’s often away visiting her boyfriend

The other roommate (M) works from home and is usually around

Neither roommate is affiliated with BC

Overall, it’s a very comfortable and quiet place with lots of space, especially compared to many apartments in the area.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested. I would be happy to give a virtual or in person tour as well.

There is also an option to sublet it for just the month of August as well.

Kind regards,

Ira Abraham
