Community-centric, historic neighborhood of St. Marks
St. Marks charms homebuyers seeking convenience and relative affordability in Dorchester. Ten miles from Downtown Boston, St. Marks once consisted of farmland before the construction of an Old Colony railroad stop became a catalyst for development. Subsequently, many of the buildings in the neighborhood date back to the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Now, St. Marks features an assortment of local businesses, access to the Red Line and a collection of striking Victorian homes. “There’s some great architecture and some great history, but one aspect that attracts homebuyers is the people” says Realtor and Dorchester native Alex Walsh with Access Real Estate. The various cultures here have woven a multigenerational, diverse fabric into an otherwise quintessential Dorchester neighborhood.
Rows of magnificent homes line the streets of St Marks.

Antique Victorians and multifamily units in St. Marks
While Walsh says most of the market consists of period homes, there’s an eclectic mix of options in St. Marks. Homebuyers can find classic Boston multifamily triple-deckers and single-family Victorians adorned with bright and bold colors. “Everyone can appreciate something that’s unique, like the stunningly beautiful Victorians,” Walsh says. Multifamily units in St. Marks often sell between $500,000 and $600,000. Two-bedroom, single-family layouts can start around $500,000, as well, though five-bedroom properties can surpass $1 million. Prices for multifamily homes start around $800,000. The urban nature of the neighborhood allows for plenty of sidewalks along the modest front yards, so residents can expect to see neighbors walking the streets.
