South End-Boston Real Estate

The South End is a neighborhood on the south side of Boston which houses one of the most diverse populations and blending several elements of the city. With elegant Victorian brick row houses, many dating back to the 1800s, the South End has been able to grow both residentially and commercially while still retaining the charm of a city steeped in history. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, town homes and condominiums.

The South End lies south of the Back Bay, northwest of South Boston and north of Dorchester. Many Bostonians love the neighborhood feel that the area provides, walking the streets of parks, playgrounds and community garden plots. Eleven residential parks are strewn about the South End, with green space and central fountains, bordered like the English with cast iron fencing. The South End has more public playgrounds per square foot than any other Boston neighborhood.

Restaurants and nightclubs line Tremont and Washington Streets as the T-Trolley’s Silver Line passes right through the neighborhood. Cars aren’t necessary for this walking city and the Logan International Airport is just a 15-minute ride by taxi. With plenty to do, this neighborhood has gone through a timely gentrification process for more than ten years, emerging as an engaging spot for nightlife, shopping and meeting places. With a comparatively low incidence of street crime, the South End blends the vibrant city feel with the warmth of a small-town community.
