Housing is relatively expensive in Boston, roughly equivalent to Seattle, though less than New York City, Washington DC, or the major cities in California. To compensate, the BCRP offers higher than average salaries. In addition, Children's Hospital offers a Lease Guarantee program. If a landlord requires advance payment of the last month's rent and/or a security deposit, Children's Hospital will guarantee payment to the landlord. Real estate information is available from a number of sources including the Boston Globe, which also publishes a useful rental search engine. Another good source for rental housing is Rental Beast.
Boston and Cambridge schools are variable but the schools in Brookline, Newton and many other suburban communities are outstanding. The Greatschools website contains considerable information about individual schools.
