Laundromats in Boston, MA

Boston's compact geography and enormous student population make it one of the most laundromat-dense cities in the Northeast relative to its size. Allston, home to tens of thousands of students from Boston University, Boston College, and other area schools, is arguably the most laundromat-saturated neighborhood per square mile in the city. Other densely served areas include Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, Dorchester, East Boston, and the areas surrounding Northeastern and Tufts campuses. Commonwealth Avenue, Washington Street, and Centre Street are key corridors. Prices in Boston run $3.50–$5.50 per wash cycle, among the highest in the country outside Manhattan and San Francisco, reflecting the city's overall cost of living. Hours at most locations run 7 AM to 10 PM, with a number of later-closing spots in Allston catering to student schedules. The city's brutal winters make clean, climate-controlled laundromats essential from November through March. Drop-off wash-and-fold service is widely available and popular across the city.
