The Basics

Located on what literally used to be a bay that was filled in near the end of the 19th century, this neighborhood exemplifies what upscale downtown Boston living is all about. Covered mostly by the 02115 zip code and with a population of around 6,500 people, this neighborhood is one of the best-known in the city not only due to its historic architecture but for being the site of some of the most important landmarks and attractions in the city. Its busiest roads, including Marlborough Avenue, Newbury Street, Beacon Street and Boylston Street, are where you will also find some of its nicest homes.

Real Estate Market

It goes without saying that the real estate market of this upscale Boston neighborhood is fast-paced and competitive—even in a city whose overall market is already quite cutthroat in nature. Lately, the median sale price for residential properties here has hovered around $750,000, which represents a drop of about 27 percent over the same period last year. Luxury condos are very popular here, and they have lately been fetching a median sale price of around $2.7 million. Compared with many other Boston neighborhoods, there is a decent mix of newer residential properties here; the building boom of 2000 to 2009 brought many new condo towers and other properties to the market.

What to Expect

The most defining characteristic of this neighborhood, for many, is its exquisite 19th-century urban design. This neighborhood is famous for its stately Victorian brownstones, and strict laws are in place to ensure that these homes stay standing for the foreseeable future. The median size of homes in this area is 1,850 square feet, which is quite generous by big-city standards. Renters can take their pick from many options, and the median rent in the area lately has been around $2,750 per month.
