Waterfront, MA Real Estate

As previously mentioned, Boston's Waterfront is one of the city's most desired neighborhoods...particularly amongst buyers who are looking for a home with a view.
 
Once upon a time, the Waterfront real estate market consisted mainly of historic wharfs previously used for manufacturing and storage in Boston's active shipping industry. When these became vacant, most were converted into luxury condominiums and townhomes. Many still have high ceilings, original wide-pine floors, and brick-and-beam construction, resulting in a loft-like feel.
 
Prices vary widely on Boston Waterfront condos, so no matter your budget, there is a good chance you will find something perfect. At Warren Residential, we're experts in Boston real estate, and can help you find your dream Waterfront home for sale - get in touch with our expert agents today!
