A bustling Dorchester neighborhood by Savin Hill Beach
Deriving its name from the Upham Building, a general store owned by Amos Upham in 1802, Upham’s Corner is a diverse Dorchester community with a rich history and an active cultural presence. Incorporating the small hilltop of Jones Hill, the neighborhood is situated close to Dorchester Bay and the University of Massachusetts, Boston, and is within walking distance of Dorchester Avenue, a thoroughfare dotted with cafes, bars and restaurants. The historic district center is lined with storefronts and buildings in Second Empire, Gothic Revival and Art Deco styles, while significant cultural landmarks such as the Strand Theatre and the Trotter House serve as important gathering places for social and heritage events. Once a streetcar suburb converted from suburban estates in the late 1800s, Uphams Corner, with electric trolleys and multifamily dwellings, appealed to the working-class populace who worked in the city. Today, the classic triple-decker residences still stand and serve as a token of its past, and modern conveniences such as a commuter rail station on Dudley Street, public parks and schools continue to make Upham’s Corner a thriving community in the Boston landscape. “Upham’s Corner is south of Boston and is in proximity to the airport, the South Shore and Cape Cod,” says Dick Lee, a Realtor at Exp Realty with 7 years of experience. “It’s a great location with an urban yet suburban feel, and as the weather gets warmer, Dorchester has many restaurants and cafes with outdoor seating.”

A lively food scene along Dorchester Avenue
Several popular eateries and markets dot the neighborhood, and residents are steps away from Dorchester Avenue, which is lined with lively cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating. A grounded eatery with authentic Mexican street food favorites, Dora Taqueria is known for its colorful décor and fun atmosphere. Echoing the diverse spirit of the community, Comfort Kitchen is a Black, immigrant and women-owned staple serving African, Asian and American fusion fare. Located along Dudley Street, Brother’s Supermarket is known for its fresh produce and meat selections, Spanish cooking ingredients and deli counter. Dorchester Avenue is home to the Vietnamese establishment Ba Le and the Asian grocery store Phú Cu?ng Market. Popular bars around the neighborhood include Dorchester Brewing Company and The Banshee, both of which offer classic gastropub fare and are often packed with regulars on game nights. Less than 1 mile north, South Bay Center is home to Stop & Shop, Target, an AMC movie theater and additional retailers and restaurants. Surrounding neighborhoods such as Grove Hall and Fields Corner have retail districts dotted with boutiques and mom-and-pop stores.

Iconic triple-deckers in Upham's Corner
The diverse and historic neighborhood mostly consists of triple-decker buildings and multi-families dating back to the late 1800s. Often listing between $400,000 and $800,000, condos and individual units in these properties can have pillared balconies, bay windows or partially rounded exteriors derived from Queen Anne influences. While recent developments can fetch from $650,000 to $1 million, these new buildings blend well with the community’s overall landscape by adopting similar architectural aesthetics and height. Two-bedroom townhouses from the late 1980s go for about $450,000, and those from the 2000s are about $700,000. Most residences don’t have yard space, and street parking with residential permits is the norm. As a pretty walkable neighborhood, most streets are connected by sidewalks and lined by honey locusts and maple trees.
