Our Verdict

"Bougie"

At a median of $58.2/m², you are paying a premium for the convenience of living where you work. It firmly earns its BOUGIE status, especially with top-end units hitting $78.5/m² for a view of the harbor. It’s not a neighborhood for those seeking 'soul,' but if you want a concierge to handle your packages while you're at the office, this is the spot.

The Vibe:This is a canyon of glass and granite where the sidewalk traffic evaporates the second the stock tickers stop for the weekend. You are trading green space for a short walk to State Street and immediate access to the Blue and Orange Lines. The crowd is almost exclusively high-earning professionals who value a five-minute commute over having a backyard or a local dive bar.

Locals Ask

Does the $58.2/m² price include parking?

Not a chance. Budget an extra $450 to $600 monthly for a spot in a local garage if your building doesn't have an internal deck.

What is the noise level like during the week?

It is loud from 7 AM to 6 PM with sirens and construction, then it goes dead silent once the commuters hit the Expressway.

Are there any actual houses here?

No. The inventory is almost entirely luxury high-rises or converted 19th-century commercial lofts with elevators.

Where is the nearest green space?

The Rose Kennedy Greenway borders the district, providing a stretch of grass between you and the harbor.

Is it worth the BOUGIE price tag?

Only if your time is worth more than your money; you're paying for the ability to never need an Uber to get to your desk.
