The unit, located at 1525 Commonwealth Ave Unit #3, is designated as a 0-bedroom, 1-bathroom property.

This rental is part of an initiative to provide housing options at a price point below market rates for individuals and families earning within a defined income bracket. The unit is income-restricted and specifically targets households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). This AMI level is a common benchmark used in affordable housing programs to determine eligibility based on local income data.

The monthly rent for this unit is set at $1,778.00. To qualify for this rent, applicants must meet a minimum annual income threshold. The required minimum annual income for a tenant is $53,340.00. This figure ensures that renters can comfortably afford the unit while adhering to the program’s affordability guidelines.

Prospective renters interested in this opportunity must submit their applications through a lottery system. The deadline for the lottery application is set for September 26, 2026. Following the initial application period, a waitlist is also open, indicating that eligible individuals may be added to a list for future consideration should additional units become available or if primary applicants withdraw.

This listing represents one of several available affordable housing opportunities in the Boston area. Such programs aim to increase housing accessibility for a broader range of income levels within the city. Further details regarding the application process and eligibility criteria beyond the stated income restrictions are typically available through the managing entity of the affordable housing lottery.
