Why Live in Boston

Boston's historic Fenway Park stands as the heart of Red Sox Nation, while the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail connects 16 revolutionary landmarks through the city's storied streets. The Boston Common, America's oldest public park, provides a peaceful retreat alongside the Public Garden's iconic Swan Boats. Cultural attractions include the Museum of Fine Arts' extensive collections and the New England Aquarium's marine exhibits. The restaurant scene features standouts like O Ya's 20-course omakase dinners and Regina Pizzeria's classic pies in the North End.

The Boston housing market presents diverse options across its neighborhoods. Single-family homes concentrate in Jamaica Plain, where the median price reaches $1,231,000, and West Roxbury, with a median price of $875,000. Condos prevail in areas like Back Bay, where one-bedroom units have a median price of $799,900 and two-bedrooms reach $1,825,000. South Boston offers more affordable condo options, with one-bedrooms at a median of $579,500 and two-bedrooms at $882,000.

Boston's cost of living stands 45.8% above the national average. A married couple with children needs an annual salary of $154,000 to live comfortably, while renters should aim for $102,000.
