My wife and I are currently seeking a space that is or can be wheelchair accessible, as well as not being a soulless concrete apartment complex. we are both artists and performers, and we run a local band and circus, so we need the space to be conducive to our lifestyle. our requirements are pretty specific, and our hunt is not going well so far. we want to believe that the right space for us is out there, so please let us know if you are aware of any places that might fit our needs. Condo, loft, live/work artist or semi-industrial space, etc. -- *all* options considered. we know there are wonderful and interesting places out there that we haven't found yet...so please help us find them! :)
here are the details...
we have an urgent need to find a wheelchair-accessible (that means, no stairs for entry -- first floor with ramp or elevator, etc.; wide door frames; studio / open floor plan can be a plus...) apartment in the greater Cambervilleford (that's Cambridge/Somerville/Medford) vicinity (which means we're also considering Charlestown, Boston, Watertown, Arlington, etc. also JP could work too...we're desperate for the right space). Occupancy is needed 9/1 or 10/1.
1BR ~1000SF+, or 2-3BR ~2000SF+ (*possibly* 1BR big, depending on layout). small one would be for a couple; large one would be for couple+1. Proximity to Red Line a major plus but not a requirement. Reasonable T commute to Kendall required in either case; reasonable drive commute to Burlington Mall vicinity required for larger unit.
MUST have 1 BR, 1 BA, kitchen and most common space on main level without stairs. Additional BA, BR, even some common space, *can* be stair-separated. Condo, loft, live/work artist or semi-industrial space, etc. -- *all* options considered.
$1500 max for the small, $3000 max for the large, *if* including heat. Obviously, cheaper is better, and mandatory if not including heat. These days, $1200 or $2600 are about the max without heat, and that's likely to stretch it, given fuel volatility.
If you have a good rental agent you've worked with in the past -- who can honestly and actually take renters' requirements, and not waste our time showing places that don't satisfy, pointers are appreciated. Thus far, we've gone to see 2 places that were *way* too small, and another that was being MOVED IN TO the day we were supposed to see it. That cannot continue.
