Knowing your budget means you’re one step ahead and on the right track. We’ve taken care of the rest and found 93 apartments for rent in Massachusetts on which you’ll spend less than $1,200.

Smaller apartments are more likely to be closer to the city center, so there are potential cuts to your transportation costs too. And here’s one more very special secret to add to your book-of-perks: you’re less likely to overshop when you know your space is limited.
