Emerging South Boston Real Estate Trends:
Because of the neighborhood’s strong sense of community, accessibility and proximity to downtown Boston, South Boston has increasingly attracted young professionals and families. With some of the newest condo developments completed at Court Square Press, its "green" LEED-certified sister-building The Macallen, the Lofts at 36A & Allelle Lofts, South Boston now offers an impressive range of newly-constructed condos in a wide selection of prices and floorplans in close proximity to the Red Line and within walking distance to the Financial District. The more established parts of South Boston, including the waterfront areas around Castle Island with brownstone single families and clapboard multi-families, have also experienced a rebirth with a huge inflow of small developers investing in renovation and improvements. The result of the real estate boom of the last 5 years has been that existing Southie families have seen a growth of restaurants and small businesses along their main streets and have also seen many new young families and young single professionals move into the newest renovations and new construction developments in South Boston. Southie has become a more affordable option for new buyers seeking larger, more affordable condos. Investors in multi-family properties have also seen better deals in South Boston than have existed in the past 3-5 years when the prices of those multi-unit buildings went up.
