The Waterfront

Water surrounds the Boston Metro area. Many neighborhoods have thrived for decades, even centuries, from the commerce derived from the fishing industry. No other Boston neighborhood has bustled more from the fresh seafood caught from Boston Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean more than The Waterfront. The narrow neighborhood ensconced between the Financial District and Boston Harbor includes a rapidly growing resident base that lives in newly developed high-rise apartments and condominiums. Spectacular views of the ebullient Atlantic Ocean during sunrise do much more than a pot of coffee to regenerate your energy. Residents find themselves lost for days at a time trying to explore the museums and natural splendors that grace The Waterfront neighborhood.

Despite its location adjacent to a large body of water, The Waterfront remains one of Boston's easiest to access neighborhoods. Visitors that travel from Logan International Airport only need 15 minutes or less behind the wheel. The MBTA silver line stops in the center of The Waterfront to connect with bus routes that traverse greater Boston. Residents of The Waterfront hop on Interstate 93, which sits about five minutes away from anyone who lives in the high end neighborhood. Boston public planners made parking a priority for the neighborhood, not only for residents, but also the visitors that contribute to the economic growth of The Waterfront. The city of Boston and private services shuttle passengers across the open waster on ferries. 

The New England Aquarium, which sits on the northern end of The Waterfront, represents one of many family friendly cultural institutions that either operates within The Waterfront or within a short walking distance of the urbane neighborhood. World-renowned seafood restaurants bustle in the Boston Harbor commercial district. Food critics have given multiple restaurants the highest praise for creating the areas iconic dish, New England clam chowder. The combination of low supply for real estate development and housing waits that last years drive up property values throughout the neighborhood.
