This neighborhood is bounded by Dorchester Bay to the east, the Neponset River to the south, Mattapan and Roxbury to the west, and the popular South Boston neighborhood to the north. The southern sub-neighborhoods of Dorchester are primarily residential, home to numerous families and working professionals, while the northern portion of this neighborhood is more urban, with mixed-use apartment buildings and commercial space. Dorchester Avenue serves as the main commercial thoroughfare through this neighborhood, running south to north from Dorchester Park to Downtown. Home to the University of Massachusetts Boston and Carney Hospital, Dorchester is an ideal neighborhood for college students and healthcare professionals that prefer a short commute. Located on Dorchester Avenue, this JFK/UMass apartment is a short walk or bicycle ride away from nearby restaurants, supermarkets, and transit stations. If you are in the mood for some outdoor recreation, take a stroll over to Joe Moakley Park, which features numerous sports fields and a running track. For those that plan to utilize public transportation, an eight-minute walk from the front door will get you to JFK/UMass station for the Red Line train to Downtown.

How rent is calculated

This listing’s rent is calculated on a daily basis. For the first and last months of your stay, you’ll only pay for the exact number of days in your rental period — just like a hotel. We call this a Daily contract type. To confirm your rental, you’ll need to pay one month’s rent in full. Any excess rent you pay for the first month will be subtracted from the next month’s rent.
Cancellation policy

Strict cancellation

If you cancel:

  • Within 24 hours of confirmation – Full refund of first month’s rent
  • After 24 hours of confirmation – No refund
