Dorchester, MA Apartments for Rent

Nestled along Boston's southeastern edge, Dorchester combines historic charm with modern convenience. As Boston's largest neighborhood, Dorchester showcases architectural diversity from Victorian mansions to classic triple-deckers, with average rents ranging from $2,300 for one-bedroom units to $3,900 for three-bedroom homes. The neighborhood's rich history dates back to 1630—even before Boston itself—and includes landmarks like the Mather School, America's oldest public elementary school.

Dorchester's five Red Line subway stations and multiple commuter rail stops provide seamless connections to downtown Boston and surrounding areas. The neighborhood features significant green spaces including the 30-acre Dorchester Park and Pope John Paul II Park along the Neponset River. Fields Corner, Codman Square, and Uphams Corner serve as bustling commercial districts with local shops and restaurants. Notable institutions include the JFK Presidential Library, UMass Boston campus, and the historic Strand Theatre, making Dorchester a convenient and well-connected neighborhood for Boston-area residents.
