Whether you're budgeting $500,000 or $1.5 million, you can find an outstanding condo or modern penthouse in this winning neighborhood.

Townhomes and Lofts

Originally, the South End was an elegant residential area defined by its elaborate brick townhomes and tree-lined streets. In fact, the South End is America's largest Victorian-era historic district. After the Back Bay and Beacon Hill, it's one of the top neighborhoods to explore if you're looking for a condo in a brownstone.

Although historic properties still define the neighborhood, the South End has evolved quite a bit in the 21st century. Today, this hip neighborhood is home to a large number of contemporary buildings, boutique condos and modern lofts. Whether you're a traditionalist or a modernist, you'll find a condo here that fits your personality.

South End Condo Prices

Dollar for dollar, the South End ranks near the top of all Boston markets based on total sales. Today, the median listing price and sale price per square foot is approximately $780. Because condos here are relatively large, median sales are higher than the Back Bay or Beacon Hill even through these areas tend to be more costly on a square foot basis.

A considerable number of loft conversions and contemporary condo buildings have shifted the housing mix and increased median prices significantly. One-quarter of all condo listings are valued at more than $1 million. Only 10 percent of properties are listed for less than $500,000, and these are mostly studios and one-bedrooms. One- and two-bedroom units represent the lion's share of the housing market in the South End. Most are priced in the upper $500,000s and $600,000s.

Luxury Condominium Buildings

Despite the significant number of Victorian townhomes, only 30 percent of condos are located in private buildings. The remaining properties are in professionally managed buildings that have a large number of units. Buyers who are interested in luxury condos and lofts will find appealing options at Atelier 505, The Penmark, Wilkes Passage Lofts and Sepia at Ink Block. Most of these are full-service buildings with private parking, communal lounges, workout areas and 24-hour concierges. There are also boutique condominiums like the Caproni Lofts that offer luxury amenities and services to a smaller number of owner occupants.
