Waterfront Boston

PHOTOS MARKET REPORTS
BACK TO MAIN NEIGHBORHOODS PAGE

Boston's Waterfront is not an official neighborhood, and as such, has no official boundaries. Bordered by the  North End,  it runs south down Commercial Street and continues down Atlantic Avenue and the   Rose Kennedy Greenway until about Congress Street.

The Boston Waterfront was America's busiest port through most of the 17th, 18th, and much of the 19th century. Many of the wharves and other still existing structures (such as Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market) date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. By the 1960's many of the wharf buildings had fallen into disrepair and disuse.

The Boston Waterfront underwent a development boom in the 70's and 80's with the redevelopment of some of the wharves (such as Long Wharf and Lewis Wharf) into condominium projects or hotels. Harbor Towers and several other projects were built from the ground up. Now, with the the arrival of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, this area has been reconnected to the city and freed from the shadow of the old Fitzgerald expressway. There is a new wave of luxury development and restaurants.

Recently constructed or converted luxury/full service condo developments include:
The Intercontinental Boston, Battery Wharf, Rowes Wharf, Folio.

This is a great place to live if you work in the Financial District or anywhere downtown. Reasonably near Mass General Hospital and Tufts New England. Easy access to all highways, transportation, and Logan Airport.

 
Testimonials
"I really wanted to put pen to paper (or at least ink jet to paper) and express my thanks for your help with my relocation from Detroit to Boston.

I would be happy to recommend you to any prospective clients, and they can call me any time.

I appreciated very much your patience with me and your ability to work around my busy schedule.  We made a lot of progress during my initial stays in town before Rachel (my fiancé) arrived to Boston.  We were then able to hit the top properties and quickly move through the whole final review, proposal, counter-offer and acceptance process in as short a time as possible (since my company allowance was running out).  Your friendly demeanor and “get it done” attitude was recognized and appreciated.

As far as helping with the search, I cannot stress enough how much we love our new condo.  Your searches were right on the money as far as what we were looking for—and there was indeed a fairly lengthy list of attributes that we wanted in our new home.  I looked forward to receiving your daily e-mail updates of new properties matching our criteria, and reviewed them with excitement each and every morning.  Of course, your knowledge of the local areas helped tremendously, since the market here in Boston is worlds apart from what it is in Detroit.  Thanks for the restaurant tips too!

In sum, I will be calling you when the time is right and need to upsize.  In the meantime, I wish you the best of luck."
