Why Live in Boston's North End? 

The historic North End has some of Boston’s best views of the Harbor and is defined by its strong Italian roots & some of the best Italian and seafood restaurants Boston has to offer. Very much a "walker's neighborhood," many residents never think to own a car, but prefer to enjoy their neighborhood on foot – whether sampling local produce stores, featuring cheese, wines, and the finest cooking ingredients. The Old North Church, the Freedom Trail, & Paul Revere’s House remind both tourists and residents alike of the proud patriot history of its past residents. The North End consists of rows and rows of expertly packed brownstones which give it an old world feel that its residents love.

Emerging North End Real Estate Trends: 

Now that the construction of the “Big Dig” has been completed, the original goal to take down the 1950’s-era Central Artery of Interstate 93 intersecting Boston – and separating the North End from the other neighborhoods - has been accomplished. North End residents are reclaiming their unique way-of-life as the area is now receiving the sunlight, foot traffic, and a sense of new, quiet city living not experienced during the 30 years that the loud noise of the central artery roared past. North End residents are celebrating this liberation from a horrible architectural curse - by doing what they always do - enjoying their bustling streets, Italian restaurants and groceries, and by not changing anything.  Residents who have bought in the North End wouldn't live anywhere else.
