Why This Guide Matters

Boston is a world-class sports city — but also one of the hardest places in the U.S. to find short-term housing, especially during major global events like the FIFA World Cup.

Here's why this matters for fans:

• Hotels sell out early (and have limited inventory)
• Furnished apartments are scarce and competition is high
• Prices surge within hours of major announcements
• Neighborhood feel and transit access vary dramatically street-to-street
• Booking early makes an enormous difference in price & availability

This guide gives you everything you need to book confidently and avoid the chaos.

1. Back Bay

• Upscale, walkable, classic Boston
• Endless restaurants + shopping
• Direct access to the Green Line
• Ideal for fans who want nightlife + culture

2. Brookline

• Safe, residential, incredibly comfortable
• Spacious units — great for families or groups
• 10–20 minutes to stadium activity
• Quiet, beautiful, and extremely transit-friendly

3. South End

• Trendy, artistic, and full of cafés
• Gorgeous brownstones
• Walkable to many central FIFA fan zones
• Great for groups of adults

4. Fenway / Longwood

• Energetic and youthful
• Near sports venues and universities
• Ideal for younger travelers and fan groups
• Easy Green Line access

5. Cambridge / Somerville

• European feel with tons of cafés
• Internationally diverse — fans feel right at home
• Red Line & Green Line access
• Great for long stays and global visitors

Traffic during FIFA will be intense, so transit will outperform rideshare.

Key lines for fans:

• Green Line - Main movement corridor for fan activity
• Red Line - Best for Cambridge, Kendall Square, MIT
• Orange Line - Connects downtown, Roxbury, JP
• Commuter Rail - For visitors staying just outside the city center

Uber/Lyft will operate normally but expect long waits and surcharges on match days.

WARNING: Housing Scams to Avoid

Major global events attract scam housing listings. Avoid:

• Craigslist or Facebook rentals without business credentials
• Hosts asking for direct wire transfers
• Units with only stock or AI-generated photos
• Prices that seem far below market rate
• Listings with no customer support or local presence

Book only through verified platforms or professional hosts.
