A rising South Boston neighborhood
The Seaport District, once an active port of the City of Boston, has in recent years seen rapid development into a mixed-use neighborhood that some have dubbed the “New York City of Boston”. While this moniker isn’t likely to appeal to Bostonians, Seaport itself has become a popular destination. “About 20 years ago, it was all empty warehouses and parking lots,” says Dan Li, broker with Keller Williams who has been selling real estate in Boston for 10 years. “Now there’s tons of office space, popular restaurants and high-rise condos.” Offering waterfront views, plentiful green space and easy access to downtown Boston, Seaport is a neighborhood that is quickly on the rise.
Home in Seaport’s skyscrapers
Seaport has experienced a recent period of unprecedented growth, leading to the construction of many new high-rise luxury condominiums and apartments along its waterfront. The price per square foot has quickly become the highest in the city, eclipsing established neighborhoods such as Back Bay and Beacon Hill. In addition, most buildings enjoy striking views of the Boston Harbor and the city skyline. A one-bedroom, 897-square-foot unit starts at around $1.8 million, with prices for a two-bedroom, 1,338-square-foot unit soaring to $3 million. “Many people who live there are young professionals,” Li says. “They work downtown or in the neighborhood, and the commute is so easy. They can walk everywhere they need to be.”
Condos are a popular option for residents of Seaport.
Seaport has luxury apartments that offer residents beautiful views of Boston Harbor.

Shopping in Seaport
There is a Trader Joe’s located directly in the neighborhood, just a short walk from Seaport’s residential districts. On the other end of the neighborhood, locals peruse aisles of fresh produce and specialty offerings at Foodie’s Markets South Boston. CVS makes necessities available at the corner of Seaport Boulevard and Boston Wharf Road. While residents have easy access to downtown Boston’s world-class restaurant scene, area mainstay The Barking Crab remains one of the city’s best-loved seafood spots despite Seaport’s recent boom. Several upstart eateries line Seaport Boulevard, including Taiyaki NYC, where visitors admire creative ice cream twists served in classic Japanese fish-shaped waffle cones. “It’s gotten very busy at the restaurants,” Li says. “You have to make reservations the same day just to get a table. Everybody goes down there now.”

Fun in the heart of Beantown
Seaport’s events schedule is packed full nearly every night of the week. Tourists and locals can wander the halls of the Institute of Contemporary Art, observing visual art exhibits by day or dancing and drinking on First Fridays by night. The seats of Leader Bank Pavilion are regularly crowded with concertgoers jamming to renowned musicians or cackling at stand-up comedy shows. Throngs of costumed visitors descend on Seaport annually for Pax East, a video game and pop culture convention held at The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. The neighborhood is also only 2 miles from TD Garden, so residents never have to miss a Bruins game.

Picnicking in Boston’s parks
Green space around Seaport has been meticulously landscaped, designed to be used year-round even through Boston’s notorious winters. Evergreen trees provide a permanent canopy, while maples, oaks and cherry trees give the parks a splash of color in spring and fall. Large boulders reminiscent of New England’s famous rock formations have been placed along Harbor Way, a reclaimed boardwalk that carves its way through the area’s central promenade. Residents ponder art installations at Eastport Park or enjoy their coffee while children clamor over the play-fishing schooner at Martin’s Park by the Fort Point Channel. Tourists rent bicycles from Waterfront Park while locals picnic on the green.
Local Art can be found throughout the redeveloped neighborhood of Seaport.
Seaport residents can walk or run alongside the Boston Harbor year round.

Taking the T around town
The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority’s subway system, known colloquially as the “T”, makes several stops in the Seaport neighborhood. Residents can pack into a Silver Line train and be at Logan International Airport in 12 minutes, avoiding any traffic backups in the Ted Williams Tunnel. Getting downtown requires changing trains at South Station and Downtown Crossing, but when the weather is nice locals can make the 1-mile walk to Faneuil Hall in roughly 30 minutes.
Public transportation makes getting to and from Seaport a breeze on the Silver Line.
Blue Bikes are a popular option for getting around the Seaport neighborhood in a breeze.

Seaport’s scholarship
While there are no elementary, middle or high schools located within the Seaport neighborhood, families living in Boston can enroll their children in any of the city’s public schools. Elementary-aged children may begin by attending Josiah Quincy School in nearby Chinatown, which earns a B from Niche. Josiah Quincy students celebrate Lunar New Year annually and the school offers Mandarin language instruction for all students. The closest middle school is James F. Condon School, which earns a C. Excel High School in South Boston earns a C-plus and partners with Vertex Pharmaceuticals to offer a science fair mentoring program.
