Dorchester Condos for Sale & Rent

By area and by population, Dorchester is Boston's largest neighborhood, and it continues to grow by leaps and bounds. There are historic sections with three-story townhomes and redeveloped areas that have a significant number of new buildings where you'll find luxurious loft-style condos. Desirable townhouse condos and new constructions are fueling strong growth in this southern suburb. Homes are affordable and property values are increasing rapidly thanks to high demand and a relatively low housing supply. In 2014, Dorchester earned the Metropolitan Neighborhood of the Year Award in Curbed's Boston Cup reader poll.

Dorchester Neighborhoods

Traditionally, Dorchester has been divided into two districts that are about the size of Boston's other neighborhoods. North Dorchester is closer to Boston and the South End. This sub-neighborhood includes several distinct communities. Savin Hill is a highly desirable area with condos along the water. Although most of these homes are historic triple-deckers, there are several new buildings that offer luxury condominiums. Upham's Corner, Columbia Point and areas along Columbia Road are home to many local businesses. Streets with close proximity to Red Line transit service tend to be popular with residents who commute into the city. South Dorchester includes the sub-neighborhoods of Adams Village, Dorchester Center and Neponset. Each of these areas offers an excellent value. Condos are available in new constructions, three-level homes and townhomes.
