Data from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, a regional planning agency that tracks housing trends, shows rental prices are increasing just about everywhere on all types of units, and one analyst said the prices are unsustainable.
Prices for studio and one-bedroom apartments are increasing at a slower rate than prices for two and three-bedroom apartments, Guerrero said. One reason for this may be more studio and one-bedroom apartments are being constructed, she said.
The MAPC also tracks rental prices in communities outside of Boston. Guerrero said Arlington and Quincy tend to be more affordable than Somerville, Cambridge and Boston.
