Beacon Hill

For a charming and historical neighborhood, look to Beacon Hill. Cobblestone streets and gas lamps transport you to yesteryear, while sky-high prices transport you to modern day Boston. Row houses from the 1800s have been impeccably preserved, with dentil molding, cornices, and marble fireplaces galore.

Buyers seeking “move-in ready” will find turnkey homes, while those wanting a “renovation project” will get a crash course in historic preservation. Everything from window treatments to paint colors must be approved by not one but two historical commissions. But after your parlor’s wood floors have been sanded and staircases have been stripped, you’ll be the toast of the Brahmin cocktail circuit.

Just don’t expect parking, reasonable square footage, or counterspace. For the privilege of living in a museum, you’ll pay a king’s ransom. But on the upside, Boston Commons and Boston Public Garden is just a stroll away.

From Boston Agent Magazine -
"High interest rates will continue to put pressure on the housing market in Greater Boston in 2023. The number of transactions will slow, as will the rate of appreciation. But the great schools, terrific universities, and proximity to world-class healthcare that are hallmarks of the region will continue to prove attractive, and I think the real estate market in Greater Boston will fare better than many other areas of the country." --Marc Decker, Compass:
