To extend options for students to find housing outside of Harvard on- and off-campus housing, here are some Facebook pages that list options for apartments or houses in the Harvard area! You can post that you are searching for a place or look at posts from currently available places.

You will have to request access, but mentioning you are a Harvard student seems to work well!
Thanks,
