Boston is the third most expensive rental market in the country, according to a recent Zumper report. In April 2016, one-bedrooms in Boston had a median of $2,310, while two-bedrooms saw a

median of $2,650.

Rent in Boston can be pricey, and you might not get a lot for around $2,500. But in other surrounding towns, $2,500 might get you a whole house. Here are five rental units that you can get

for close to $2,500 per month, ordered from highest price per square foot to lowest. (Or, if you’re in the market to buy house, here’s what approximately $350,000, $500,000, and $1 million 

will get you across greater Boston.)
