If you are looking to buy a home in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood, it is important to know that you are facing a bit of an uphill battle. Located in the heart of downtown, this neighborhood is home to some of the most exclusive residential real estate in the city. Formerly dominated by low-rise apartment buildings, it has increasingly become dotted with sleek high-rises housing some of the most luxurious condos and apartments in Boston. To find what you need here, you’ll need access to timely and accurate information. Get that and a lot more by connecting with the experts at Boston City Properties.

The Basics

With its prime location right in the heart of downtown Boston, this neighborhood offers some of the most upscale residential real estate in the city. Bordered by Downtown Crossing, Boston Common, the South End and the Theatre District, the neighborhood had a population of around 5,850 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census, and it is covered primarily by the 02111 zip code. Like all neighborhoods downtown, this one is very densely populated and decidedly urban in nature, and the real estate offerings largely reflect this.

Real Estate Market

If you are hoping to secure an affordable place to live in this part of the city, think again. Residential real estate prices here are among the highest in the city, and property values continue to climb. Whether you plan to stay put for a while or expect to sell again fairly quickly, you should be able to recoup a decent return on your investment. Lately, the median sale price for residential properties here has been around $610,000, which represents a drop of 6.7 percent since the same period last year. This most likely reflects the addition of new inventory from the many new construction projects that have popped up in the last few years.

What to Expect

This neighborhood is located in the heart of downtown Boston, so you can expect to find soaring buildings packed in among commercial developments. Mixed-use developments have become more ubiquitous in recent years, and they are a convenient option for city dwellers who don’t want to venture far for their basic needs. Elegant luxury buildings have largely replaced the worn-down low-rise buildings of years past, and residential properties here offer an average of 1,650 square feet of space, which is pretty generous. If you are looking to rent a place, note that median rent is around $2,400 per month.
