The Basics

Widely regarded as the most affordable neighborhood in downtown Boston, this district is bordered by Beacon Hill and the North End. During the 1950s, a misguided attempt at urban renewal nearly destroyed the neighborhood completely. It has since risen from the ashes, but it has a ways to go before being back to its former glory. As a result, it’s a great place to find more affordable homes within close proximity of downtown. We have connections with real estate agents in this neighborhood, and we can refer you to one when you’re ready.

Real Estate Market

Because of the disastrous urban renewal projects of the late 1950s, this neighborhood’s inventory of residential properties is much smaller than it once was. Lately, however, a construction boom of sorts has taken hold, and many new upscale high-rise towers are going up. At the same time, many older properties have been converted into condo and apartment buildings, and walk-ups and brownstones are found here and there too. Lately, the median sale price here has been around $464,000, which is very affordable for this part of the city. Rent, however, has been averaging around $3,000 per month, which is more in line with downtown rental prices.

What to Expect

You can expect to find eclectic real estate offerings in this part of the city. On the one hand, there are lots of new luxury condos and apartments; on the other, there are tons of older buildings that have been converted into charming new homes. Property values here are expected to keep rising steadily, so you should be able to sell again in a few years without any problem. Whether you’re looking for a luxury home or for a property in a converted building, you can expect to face decent amounts of competition too.
