It’s that time of year again in Boston’s historic North End- bring on the feasts! True, those who live there must fight even more for a much sought after parking spot on the weekends, but who doesn’t love eating some good fried dough while listening to live Italian music.
Each weekend there is a different feast located in different sections of the North End, celebrating a specific Saint. With weekends filled with live entertainment and fabulous Italian cuisine, you couldn’t ask for a better way to enjoy this summer!
Here is a …

So did the Cadillac take out the garage?
Don’t ask me how I came across this listing on our site…but I did…and something caught my eye between the marketing photo that they are using in MLS vs the Google Street View imaging. Ok we all know, one day Google strapped these really expensive cameras on the roofs of some cars and basically drove every street in every major city in the U.S. to capture this…so all of these photos are dated at some level. (See the listing)
BUT…
The listing does show parking.

In the news yet again….we were mentioned recently in an article published by Banker & Tradesman discussing the future of the Fort Point neighborhood, particularly targeting the much anticipated completion of the FP3 building.
In a rather negative light, the article reflects sales in the newest condominium development in the Fort Point neighborhood as slow due to overpricing and the lack of a neighborhood feel as new construction in this yet-to-be-up-and-coming section of Boston pushes forward toward continued development.
They claim that the units are too pricey in an emerging neighborhood that …

The top five U.S. real estate markets for investment on the “Forbes” list are New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Boston is No. 6, followed by Chicago, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Orlando, Fla.
Like New York, office investing in Boston is the top pick for European investors, but the multi-family home and apartment markets are attractive too. While prices have only gone up 3% in the last year, according to real estate investing firm Marcus & Millichap, a 41% decline in expected construction completions is expected …

As someone from the midwest, moving to Boston was quite an eye opener for me. Driving down the tree-lined streets of Commonwealth Ave, the beautiful brownstones create a unique feel in Boston, that I had never seen before. Coming from a place where my apartments and townhouses had all been recently built and amenities such as parking and an elevator were automatically included, not a luxury, it was shocking to discover just what was lacking in these older buildings that were priced at such a high cost.
Both old and new …
