A home that fits your work and your life.
Joining Boston College, relocating for a new role or looking for a different commute? Compare buying, renting and the full cost of your move in Chestnut Hill, starting with where you actually work.
Start with your work location
Your department, building and schedule matter more than a distance to the center of campus. Compare the door-to-door route at the times you expect to travel.
What would you like to work through?
For a new appointment, visiting position or longer move, bring your start date, budget, household needs and expected length of stay. Confirm any relocation reimbursement or employee housing eligibility directly with your university.
Compare the full monthly cost
For a rental, include rent, utilities, parking, transport and move-in costs. For a purchase, include financing, property taxes, insurance, association fees, maintenance and closing costs. Compare the same expected length of stay and keep any unconfirmed employee benefit out of your budget.
