The South End is one of Boston’s most diverse and popular neighborhoods, appealing to families, artists, young professionals and residents of all walks of life. It is home to the Boston Ballet, the Boston Center for the Arts, and the Boston Medical Center.
As a Boston Landmark District, the South End contains classic row homes featuring Victorian, Greek Revival, and Italianate styles. In fact the South End is the largest intact Victorian neighborhood in the country. Eclectic shops and many of the city’s best restaurants are located on the South End’s main streets - Columbus, Tremont, Shawmut, Washington, and increasingly at the neighborhoods edge - Harrison Ave. There is an abundance of parks and playgrounds, nearly 30 in all.
The South End is only minutes from downtown Boston. Public transportation is available by bus and the MBTA Orange Line and many people regularly walk to work downtown.
Housing options include condos, townhouses, and lofts. Whether you want a cutting edge open plan loft or a home loaded with Victorian charm and character, you’re likely to find it in the South End.
