Regis!

This is kwaller. (I think you knew that.) The boyfriend and I are searching for digs come September, and we are interested. Couple questions, though: what's the closest busline/best way to get to H'vard Square? And how much would we be looking at for utilities?

Thanks. Hugs.

hi!

utilities... i've got a larger space (second and third floors), and i *think* it costs me about $1400/yr for heat/hot water (i end up pre-buying my oil every year in one lump sum and the company just delivers it on a semi-regular basis, which is nice since it gives me a capped price). electricity is about $60-90/mo, depending, and gas is something trivial like $10-20/mo depending on how much i've been cooking.

as for bus lines, the best way to harvard square is probably up the hill to highland, take the bus to davis, and then take the train to harvard square.

i'm kind of midway between bus lines to the three major train lines. basically, it's up the hill to highland to get a bus to the red line, right around the corner from the house for a bus to the green line, and over in the other direction to broadway for a bus to the orange line.

if you're still interested, let me know. i can schedule a walk thru (the current tenant is in there till mid-august, but i can probably ask nicely if you want to see the layout).

what i should do, too, is make a rough floorplan diagram that i can link to.
