South Boston
South Boston traditionally has been an Irish-Catholic neighborhood but has recently seen a large influx of young professionals and families looking for quick access to downtown and public transportation, and a strong sense of community. South Boston’s waterfront also has some of the city’s best local beaches and a beautiful park called Castle Island, which residents can explore and enjoy during the summer. Castle Island is home to a Revolutionary War fort used to defend Boston Harbor.
South Boston consists of traditional, triple-decker homes, most of which have been converted into condominiums during the real estate boom of the past few years. There is also new construction, with large, luxury residential projects popping up in sections of South Boston, many of which may appeal to those who want a full-service lifestyle with amenities such as a concierge, pool, gym, and more.
