You Can Rent Matt Damon's 'Good Will Hunting' Pad In South Boston
The triple-decker at 190 W Sixth St. is featured in the 1997 film as the home of Will Hunting himself.

BOSTON, MA — Though it might look quite different now than it did when it was Matt Damon's digs in "Good Will Hunting," this triple-decker apartment in South Boston has history—and the unit available for rent has lots of natural light.
The apartment building at 190 West Sixth Street is featured in the 1997 film as the home of Will Hunting himself, a janitor and mathematical genius whose world opens up when his talent is discovered by a professor. In the film, Hunting lives on the first-floor, but it is the second-floor unit that's available for anyone looking for a slice of Boston with a story.
The 1,000 square foot unit, which was renovated in 2012 and listed for rent for $4,500 per month in February, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms with one off-street parking space included.
