2026-28 Off Campus Apartments for rent University Ave, Basically on Campus, Renovated, Great Loc!

**Looking for Tufts Students that are rising Sophomores or Juniors**, lease for 2026-28. Great location basically on campus on corner of University Ave & Boston Ave. 2 units available, Apartments have large rooms, newer appliances, hardwood... floors, new bathrooms, front and rear porches, off street parking, large yard etc. I am the home owner so no broker fees. Large groups welcome for both units or can break up if just need the one, can set up showings quickly, these apartments go fast so don't hesitate to reach out, your group will love the house! Is one of the best locations "off campus" although house is basically on campus. We have been hosting Tufts students for over 20 years in this same house and take care of our students. 3 years ago house underwent significant renovation including new baths, appliances, heating systems, exterior work, new windows etc. See some photos I had, doesn't show everything or all bedrooms. Best to come and take a look. House is 3 levels, 1st floor unit is one level and a 3 bedroom. 2nd Floor is 2 levels over 2000 sq feet and 9 rooms, 1 1/2 Baths. Contact Walter via text at 978-882-1339 or email for additional details or to set up a showing.
