How housing works near Harvard University

Most students near Harvard University share a flat or a house with roommates to keep rent manageable. Prices vary by how close you are to campus and whether a room is private or shared.

Leases usually run 6 to 12 months. Landlords may ask for a deposit and, in some markets, proof of income or a guarantor. Arriving students often solve this with a roommate already on the lease.

Never send money before a video tour and a signed lease. We show approximate locations only until you’re in touch with the other person, and we never claim a listing is verified.
