Who This Residence Suits
June Homes 02119 works best for students or young professionals who need a short-term, flexible housing arrangement in Boston. The minimum lease is one month, which is significantly shorter than the typical 12‑month lease in the city. This makes it a practical choice for exchange students, summer interns, or anyone who cannot commit to a full academic year. The property offers shared units (4‑bedroom and 5‑bedroom) as well as private 1‑bedroom options and branded independent houses. Rent starts at 1,000 USD per month and goes up to 1,550 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), which positions it above the city’s lowest available price of 875 USD per month but still within reach for many students sharing costs. The location in MA 02119 is roughly between Boston University, Northeastern University, and Tufts University, making it a reasonable commute to those campuses by public transit or bike. Wi‑Fi is included, and street parking is available, which can be a bonus if you own a car in a city where parking is often expensive. The 129 USD deposit is also low compared to the standard one‑month deposit common in Boston.
Who It Doesn’t Suit
This residence is not ideal if you need a private, quiet space with a dedicated lease and a consistent landlord. Several units are shared (4‑bedroom and 5‑bedroom), so you will be living with multiple roommates. The Google rating is 4.0 with 1,400 reviews, but individual feedback is mixed. One reviewer, Sharmila Biswas, gave a 1‑star rating and reported that the advertised photos “far off from reality” and that the company was “selling furnished units to working professionals and taking a fee for cleaning.” If you value a precise match between listing and actual room, this mismatch may frustrate you. Also, smoking is not allowed inside, so it is not suitable for smokers. The property is a branded independent house rather than a dedicated student dormitory, so you may not have the same community events or onsite support that purpose‑built student housing offers. If you are looking for a traditional landlord‑maintained apartment with a longer lease and a fixed price, this flexible model may feel too transient.
What Residents Actually Say
Two of the three reviewed Google reviews are positive. Mohamad Karim (5 stars) wrote: “I had a great experience with June Homes. The move‑in process was smooth, the apartment matched the listing, and the support team was responsive whenever I had questions.

Dawit Desta (5 stars) said: “I’ve genuinely enjoyed living with June Homes. The moving process was simple, which made settling in easy. The place was clean, comfortable, and felt welcoming from day one. Also, whenever I’ve reached out with a question, their customer service has always been helpful and prompt. I’d definitely recommend June Homes if…”
The sole negative review from Sharmila Biswas (1 star) alleges false advertising: “Andres & Nelly Real Estate agents in New York City‑ False advertising! June Homes showcase photos in their adds which is far off from reality. It is one thing that photos sometimes don’t match and it is completely different if they are selling furnished units to working professionals and taking a fee for cleaning and n…” (text truncated). This suggests that while many residents have a smooth experience, a minority encounter discrepancies. With 1,400 total reviews averaging 4.0, the majority appear satisfied, but the negative feedback should not be ignored — especially if you are particular about room condition.
Price Positioning vs. Boston’s From‑Price
The city’s lowest listed price for student housing is 875 USD per month. June Homes 02119 starts at 1,000 USD per month, which is about 14% higher than that floor. However, the 875 figure likely refers to a shared room or a very basic unit. June Homes’ 1,000 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator) is for a shared bedroom in a multi‑bedroom apartment. The maximum price of 1,550 USD per month (indicative) likely covers a private 1‑bedroom unit. Compared to Boston’s overall rental market — where median studio rents often exceed 2,000 USD — this property sits in the lower‑mid range. The 129 USD deposit is unusually low; a traditional Boston apartment would require at least one month’s rent as deposit. This low deposit reduces upfront costs, which is helpful for students on a tight budget. However, the trade‑off is the flexible, less traditional management model.
Room‑Type Guidance
The property lists unit types: 1b, 4b, 5b, and branded_independent_house. The “branded_independent_house” likely means an entire house managed under the June Homes brand, which could suit a group of 4–5 friends wanting to live together. The 1‑bedroom option is good for a single person who needs privacy, but expect the higher end of the price range (around 1,550 USD per month). The 4b and 5b options are shared apartments where you rent a private bedroom and share common areas. This is the most affordable route, with prices starting at 1,000 USD per month. Note: the price duration is monthly, and the minimum lease is 1 month, so you are not locked in. If you are coming for a semester (4–5 months), this flexibility works well. For a full academic year, you might pay slightly more per month than a traditional lease, but you avoid penalties for early departure.
Booking Timing
Because the minimum lease is only one month, availability can change quickly. There is no specific available‑from date in the data, which suggests rooms are typically ready for move‑in within a short period. For fall semester (August/September), you should start looking at least 2–3 months ahead to secure a room in your desired unit type. For spring semester or summer, earlier is still better, but the short‑lease model means you may find openings even a few weeks before move‑in. The property is managed by June Homes, which operates in multiple US cities, so their inventory in Boston fluctuates. Booking too far in advance (more than 4 months) may not be possible because rooms are released on a rolling basis. If you need certainty, contact the operator directly after checking the platform.
FAQ
How far is June Homes 02119 from Boston University, Northeastern University, and Tufts University?
The address is in the MA 02119 zip code, which is within Boston’s Roxbury / Dorchester area. Boston University’s main campus is about 2.5–3 miles northwest, Northeastern University is roughly 2 miles north, and Tufts University is about 5 miles north. Commute times by subway (MBTA Orange Line or bus) are usually 20–40 minutes depending on the destination. Biking is also feasible for BU and Northeastern.
Are utilities included in the rent?
The data does not explicitly list utilities, but Wi‑Fi is mentioned as a tag. It is common for June Homes to include water, trash, and internet in the rent, but you should confirm with the operator whether electricity and gas are separate. The 129 USD deposit and the monthly price range likely cover basic utilities, but always verify before signing.
What is the cancellation policy for a short lease?
The minimum lease is one month, so you are generally committed for that full month. If you need to leave early, the operator may charge a penalty. Since the model is flexible, policies vary. Ask the operator directly about early termination fees. Some residents on Google reported a positive experience with flexibility, but the negative review suggests communication issues, so get the policy in writing.
