Convenient location and good company in Roxbury’s Sav-Mor area
Sav-Mor lies between Blue Hill Avenue and Warren Street in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, known as Boston’s Black cultural center. “You’re in good company here,” says Chantae Turner, a real estate agent with Thumbprint Realty. “It’s a mix of people born and raised here and people moving in who want to build community. That diversity makes it unique and special.” In addition, the area offers a vibrant restaurant scene, proximity to Franklin Park and convenient access to the rest of Boston. “It’s a central hub,” Turner says. “It’s close to downtown and very accessible.”
The Sav-Mor neighborhood sits just ten minutes from downtown Boston.
Children of Sav-Mor love to spend time learning about the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo.

Classic styles, converted condos and a strong rental market
Colonial and Victorian homes can cost between $1.2 million and $1.6 million, though a single-family home needing some renovation might cost less, such as one that sold for $650,000. Condos and townhomes, some in classic brownstone buildings, can cost between $420,000 and $975,000, depending on age and how much updating they need. Many properties are quite old: The median year built here is 1900. Multifamily homes and other investment properties are also available. “There’s some new construction, but really, it tends to be developers buying a two-family or three-family property and turning it into condos,” Turner says. The area is nearly 75 percent renters by population. “There’s a strong rental market,” Turner says.
Brownstone condos and single-family homes stand shoulder to shoulder in the Sav-Mor neighborhood.

Diverse eateries can be found in and around this neighborhood. “We have a lot of great food here,” Turner says. Merengue Restaurant and Rey Del Pollo serve Dominican cuisine. Slade's Bar & Grill was once owned by Celtics legend and Civil Rights icon Bill Russell, and continues to be a popular Roxbury spot for live music and soul food cuisine. “District 7 Tavern is another Black-owned bar in the area. They also hold events there. It’s a good place for people to convene.” Residents can grab coffee and pastries at Madhouse Café. “It’s a special place to hang out, a custom motorcycle body shop and café, both queer- and woman-owned,” says Melony Swasey, global real estate advisor with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty. For groceries, Price Rite of Roxbury is just across Warren Street, near Marshall’s, while a Stop and Shop supermarket is at the southernmost tip of the neighborhood.

It has birding areas, a zoo, a golf course and trails winding through wooded areas, up hills and around historical markers.
