It is not your responsibility to pay it! Everything is provided! Yes! Even your cups, plates, and cookware! Large rooms available in an 8-bed, 3.5-bath apartment right on Memorial Drive with waterfront views and walk-to-Harvard convenience. Welcome to 1000 Memorial Dr, Unit #2R an enormous 3,400 sq ft apartment built for people who need space, sunlight, and solid Wi-Fi. Room prices range from $1500 $1700/month and include all utilities heat, hot water, electricity, gas, and high-speed Wi-Fi, no surprises. All rooms are large, with plenty of space for a bed, desk, and dresser, and are completely furnished. Select rooms allow 2 occupants for an additional $400/month for the second person. In-unit laundry, hardwood floors, fully furnished common areas, and a huge kitchen with everything you need, including a dishwasher and plenty of assigned cabinet space for private food storage. Keyless entry and a responsive, no-nonsense landlord make life easy. Lease term is flexible 12-month preferred but short-term and sublets are allowed. Couples may be considered for an additional monthly fee. No dogs. Cats may be considered. The house is well-maintained and student-friendly, with recent bathroom renovations and energy-efficient windows throughout. Plenty of street parking nearby. Renters insurance required. Less than 500 steps to Harvard Square. Yes, we counted. International students and students here on visa are absolutely welcome. Living in Harvard Square means you re basically at the center of the academic universe but with better coffee and weirder street performers. Whether you're a Harvard student rolling out of bed and into class in five minutes, or an MIT genius biking across the river with three prototypes in your backpack, this is where it all clicks. You ve got historic charm and intellectual clout on one corner, bubble tea and thrift shops on the next. Grab an espresso at Tatte, crush your readings at the Smith Center, and debate philosophy (or TikTok trends) on the benches by the T station. Walk to lectures, problem sets, lab meetings, or your part-time biotech hustle without ever needing a car. The Red Line runs straight through here, making it easy to get to Kendall, Central, Downtown Boston, or that one friend who insists on living in Somerville. There s green space along the Charles for your hot-girl walks, late-night food options that somehow taste better at 2am, and bookstores that make you feel smarter just by walking in. Harvard Square is where world-changers live like students and students live like locals. If you're looking to live in a place that s intellectually intense but also wildly vibey this is it.
