The
Midtown neighborhood of Boston is not really recognized
officially as a neighborhood, so there are no real official
boundaries. But here goes anyway: On the west, it is bounded
by the Boston Common. The southern boundary is
Boylston/Essex, more or less. It runs east to west for only
about a block or two, encompassing at least Washington
Street, and some of Chauncy. The northern border would be at
about School Street.
Midtown
wasn't even informally regarded as such until the
Ritz-Carlton Towers
were constructed on top of some underutilized real estate on
Tremont and Avery, as well as some acreage on Washington
that was part of what until about 15 years ago was called the
"combat zone", catering to the "adult" industry. Suffice it
to say that the area has completely transformed itself.
Other
recently constructed uber-luxury
condominium projects in the neighborhood are the
Grandview, located on Boylston,
45 Province on (yes) Province St., and the
Residences at the W. Also nearby are
One Charles, built by Millenium, the developer of the
Ritz, and the venerable Four Seasons.
Midtown,
which wasn't even heard of a decade ago, now regularly tops
the charts in property pricing.
This
neighborhood is within easy walking distance to everything:
Beacon Hill and
Back Bay are immediately adjacent.
The
Opera House, The
Citi Performing Arts Center,
The Colonial Theater,
The Majestic
Theater, and scores of restaurants, clubbing, legions of upscale
stores, the Common, and the Public Garden are all nearby.
