I was renting a room in New York for a while and when I came back to Ireland I am now paying(twice) as much. I pay 2400 for a small one bedroom apartment in the city centre. These Motherf**ckers are screwing the people, and there is nothing we can do because that is Dublin. Thankfully(I say this with a little apprehension), the property market has just bellied in Ireland and prices seem to be going down. I always think living in the suburbs means living in a new city, don't do it. As bad as Dublin is - living outside Dublin, Berlin Paris is a big pain in the ass. I have lived on the suburbs of 5 major cities - one spends the money commuting anyway....

(Dorchester) - it's on the Red Line, has become much more funky-random-gay-and-ethnic than the South End has been in ages, and has some good places - lots of BIG (like 800+ sq. ft.) triple-decker conversions that can probably be had for $250K...you get closer to $300 and they get really nice...

There are definitely some decently sized options at reasonable prices, certainly tons (i mean TONS) better than what you're describing from Fenway. It would be so totally awesome if you moved to this side of the river... My friend j just bought a nice place in Somerville about a 12 min walk from HLS for the mid-200’s (I don’t know the exact).

Arlington is a bit too inconvenient (with no subway access). And the affordable places in Somerville are nowhere near the subway, either. There is one place in Cambridge that appeals to me...

The market is getting good everywhere now.....Funny that you picked Charlotte, when I was considering a move (prior to Mom's illness) I had picked Charlotte as a potential location. When I did a property search I assumed 225 -250 K would be reasonable. Hell it would have bought me the Carrington Mansion from Dynasty. Im talking 5-6 bedrooms, 3 baths, swimming pool etc etc etc.... I know you dont want the burbs baby….but have you considered Arlington or Cambridge?
