Bay Village Studio Apartments & Condos

Bay Village is one of Boston's best-kept secrets, and you've discovered it. This charming village is the smallest officially recognized neighborhood in Boston, but its size doesn't stop it from being great. It has a fabulous location, its own neighborhood association and its own style. Bay Village is a small wedge-shaped district located south of Stuart Street and north of the Massachusetts Turnpike. It's just blocks away from the Back Bay, the Boston Common, the Boston Public Garden and Emerson College. Best of all, it's on the edge of the Theater District, and the artsy South End is just across the highway.

A Neighborhood Overview

Aside from its small size and stature, Bay Village is known for its historic atmosphere and compact brick row houses that bear a remarkable resemblance to those on Beacon Hill. That's because the master tradesmen who built Beacon Hill's posh townhouses settled in Bay Village and brought their architectural style with them. However, there's more to Bay Village than historic studio apartments in quaint row houses. This neighborhood is still growing. Luxury apartment buildings and condominiums are springing up on Melrose, Piedmont and Stuart streets. Renters and home buyers also have access to new micro-apartments.

Bay Village Real Estate

Whether you're searching for a studio condo in a historic row house or would prefer a more luxurious and modern property, rentals in the Bay Village average around $1,300 per month. That's due in part to the smaller size of local homes. For a larger studio, rentals start around $1,500. Like other parts of Boston, luxury apartments in Bay Village cost between $2,000 and $3,800 per month. These units have granite counters, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors and unbeatable views. Luxury buildings offer a long list of amenities from traditional items like a fitness center and 24-hour concierge to niche services like a pet spa for Fido. Studio condos start in the mid-$400,000s. Although some units are selling for less than $800 per square foot, prices for luxury units in this desirable area are as high as $1,000 per square foot.

Bay Village is once again an up-and-coming neighborhood. Although most of its historic buildings are protected, new constructions that house boutiques, restaurants and high-end offices are popping up everywhere. Liberty Mutual is one of the neighborhood's newest arrivals. Before this modern renaissance, Bay Village was the center of Boston's film industry. Warehouses and production studios built in the Art Deco era still define the skyline. Centuries of Boston history are visible as you walk down brick sidewalks past modern skyscrapers and historic row homes that are lit by gas street lamps. The entire neighborhood has an aura of comfort and familiarity that's irresistible.
