Waterfront Boston Condos: Living on a Wharf

By Erica Farthing 27 05 2009

One of the great aspects of Boston that sets it apart from other major cities across the U.S. and around the world is that fact that it is situated along the water with gorgeous views of Boston Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The crisp, blue ocean water plays host to a variety of ships and boats and is always there for a gorgeous view.

Boston condos have been built along Boston’s beautiful waterfront and one of the most common areas you can find them is along the various Wharfs found throughout Boston. A Wharf is like a pier projecting and raised over the water and Wharf living in Boston holds some of the most exclusive and unique Boston condos available on the waterfront.

Living in a Boston condo on the waterfront on a Wharf allows you to sit back in the privacy of your own home while taking in the breathtaking sight of ships coming in and out of the harbor, the sparkling blue water, and the glistening city in the back drop. Some waterfront Boston condos can be found along these well-known Boston wharves: Battery Wharf, Russia Wharf, Burroughs Wharf, Commercial Wharf, India Wharf, Lewis Wharf, Lincoln Wharf, Rowes Wharf, Union Wharf, and Constellation Wharf. (Please feel free to let me know if I have overlooked any!)

Boston Restaurants with Patios

By Erica Farthing 6 05 2009

Patio season has arrived. After enjoying a few days with a glorious return of warm weather to Boston…when anyone is deciding on their restaurant dining options…patios play a huge factor. Summertime is just around the corner and the best place to enjoy a night out is on a Boston restaurant patio. Several Boston restaurants with patios offer spectacular views of the city, a great space for people watching, and of course, excellent food & drinks!

Who wants to eat inside on a gorgeous summer evening? I certainly don’t and I doubt you do either.

So what exactly are the best outdoor dining options in Boston? I have developed a list according to the neighborhoods of a few of my personal picks for the best Boston restaurants with patios, please feel free to contact me with more suggestions!

Back Bay
Scoozi: Feel like popping a bottle of champagne at lunch? Well Scoozi on Newbury Street is the place. And if you just want a great salad or sandwich…Scoozi has that too. On the patio you can enjoy taking in the scene of Back Bay’s popular Newbury Street shopping destination as shoppers walk by and the Back Bay buzzes with life after a long winter. It may not be the biggest of Boston restaurant patios, but it’s sure on of my favorites!
Other great Back Bay restaurants with patios: Parish Cafe, Stephanie’s on Newbury, Croma, & Via Matta

South End
Stella: This fantastic South End restaurant offers a fun and exciting atmosphere inside and out. Think South End meets South Beach in this ultra chic restaurant. Enjoy their large cocktail list and delicious Italian food options on the patio at Stella on any given summer day or night.
Other great South End restaurants with patios: The Beehive, Sibling Rivalry, Toro, Masa, & Tremont 647

Fenway
Eastern Standard: By far one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Sorry to sound partial but it is! Why you ask? Not only do they have a fabulous patio along Comm Ave that reminds me of something you would sit at along Ocean Drive, but their elaborate drink menu and food with New England and European favorites keep you there for hours on end. Whether you are looking to grab a nice meal before hitting up a Red Sox game or just looking for a great Boston restaurant with a patio, Eastern Standard is an excellent choice.
Other great Fenway restaurants with patios: Cask’n Flagon, Burton’s Grille,  & La Verdad,

North End/Waterfront
Tias: Where else can you go right after a long work day to enjoy a few drinks and take in the views of Boston Harbor. Situated directly next to Columbus Park and at the foot of Boston’s North End, Tia’s is a great option for outdoor dining in Boston. And with their incredibly spacious patio, locals and tourists alike can enjoy this great outdoor spot.
Other great North End/Waterfront restaurants with patios: Joe’s American Grille, The Living Room, Mother Anna’s, & Fiore

Seaport District/Fort Point Channel
LTK: Legal Test Kitchen located in Boston’s Seaport District offers an extensive menu from everything ranging from your seafood favorites to innovative multi-cultural cuisine. With numerous specialty cocktails on the menu (try the watermelon crush) LTK is one of the best spots to check out in the Seaport District.
Other great Seaport District/Fort Point Channel restaurants with patios: Atlantic Beer Garden, Barking Crab, & 606 Congress

Charlestown
Tavern on the Water: Take in the amazing views of Boston from the other side of Boston Harbor while you drink a dark n stormy. Boaters and land-dwellers unite to celebrate the return of summer. Sit on the patio outside and watch as boats go by. Tavern on the Water is a great option for outdoor patio dining & drinking.
Other great Charlestown restaurants with patios: Navy Yard Bistro

Cambridge
dante: Call me a sucker for amazing views, but then again, isn’t that the point of outdoor dining? And as far as views go, dante is one of the best. Sitting on the Cambridge side of the Charles River, the patio at dante allows you drink in not only their fabulous cocktails but the spectacular views of Boston’s Back Bay and Beacon Hill.
Other great Cambridge restaurants with patios: Upstairs on the Square, OM Restaurant & Lounge, & Oleana

So there you have it. Boston is filled with several options for outdoor dining on patios. I’m sure there are many that I have missed and I promise to be on the search for more Boston restaurants with patios as this great weather continues!

Feel free to shoot me an email or leave a comment on YOUR favorite Boston restaurants with patios, I love hearing from you!

Boston Open Houses This Weekend

By Anthony Longo 16 04 2009

Looks like this is the weekend for open houses in Boston !!!

This a.m. I came into work to run some searches for a relocation client who is coming in to Boston this weekend - and I was blasted with the little “Open House” pins all over our MLive Maps.  Take a look at the screen shot above - this is a simple South End Condos Search and more than 80% of them are having an open house this weekend.  I am assuming that  most of the other Boston neighborhoods are the same - so I did some quick links for you below on all Open Houses in Boston this weekend!

Well if you are interested in South End Condos - here is an easy link to all South End Open Houses (109).

Quick Links To Other Open Houses:

Back Bay Open Houses (48)

Beacon Hill Open Houses (25)

Charlestown Open Houses (39)

North End Open Houses (17)

Fenway Open Houses (14)

Waterfront Open Houses (23)

South Boston Open Houses (91)

Seaport District Open Houses (26)

Leather District Open Houses (5)

Midtown Boston Open Houses (11)

*** REMINDER ***

If you are going to open houses this weekend (or anytime for that matter) - never waive your right to a buyers agent (read this post if you missed it:  Don’t buy alone!).

If you are asked by the host or listing agent to sign-in, that is absolutely fine and normal.  Most of the time on the open house sign-in book, there is a place that asks if you are working with a buyers agent or a buyers broker.  ALWAYS ANSWER THIS - YES! (If they ask for a name - you can feel free to use my name - Tony Longo w/CondoDomain)

Even if you have not engaged a buyers agent (like CondoDomain) this will leave the option for you to engage us in the future.

Say you fall in love with that particular place and want to submit an offer.  If you end up doing it on your own, the listing agent has 100% fiduciary duties to represent the sellers interest and the sellers interest only.  This means anything the agent tells you is pretty much NOT in your interest.  Working with a buyers agent does not cost you any $$$ out of pocket and the buyers agent commission is already worked into the price you are bidding on (whether you know it or not, the listing agent is getting paid both brokerage fees).

Bottom line - the service & the savings of a buyers agent is priceless - use one!

Bonus: Any buyers agent will add value to your transaction and help you tremendously in the home-buyer purchase.  Here @ CondoDomain we are a bit different and we actually provide you the exact same service as any other  buyers agent (well, maybe a bit more as we are a data-driven company) and you will get CASH BACK when you buy with us.  I know sounds crazy…but it’s true!  Don’t believe it?  Check out how it works.

Well - you already know I will be flying around the South End & Seaport neighborhood on Saturday and Sunday - if you see me, make sure to yell out and say hello!  Happy Hunting!

Boston Condos With Pools

By Erica Farthing 2 04 2009

The other day as I was browsing through Twitter when I came across a Boston-based company called Poolside Pong. Poolside Pong is the only year round inflatable beer pong table that has all of the traditional features of beer pong to bring to pools, lakes, beaches, tailgates, etc.

This really got my mind spinning! This looks amazing…but to us Boston city-dwellers, it creates the question..Who has a pool we can use!? Especially a Boston pool to play poolside pong!

Thus began my extensive research on Boston pool locations & Boston condos with pools.

Just like our Boston roof deck post last week, with the rising temps we are reminded that warm weather in Boston is just around the corner. There is nothing better on those sizzling summer days in Boston than to just into a refreshing pool. Hurry up and research which one of your friends has access to one of these rare pools in Boston or you could always buy your own.

Sure, The Colonnade roof top pool is simply fabulous and we all know that we can always go there to get some fun in the sun, but where are the rest of the swimming pools in this fair city?

Take a look at Boston condo buildings with pools:

151 Tremont Midtown Boston

45 Province Midtown Boston

Parris Landing Charlestown

The Somerset Back Bay Boston

The Macallen South Boston

The Atlantic at Marina Bay Quincy

Harbor Towers Waterfront Boston

390 Commonwealth Ave Back Bay Boston

Union Wharf North End Boston

If you know of anymore low-key Boston pools around let me know…I am continuing to look into it so stay tuned to our Boston Condo Loft blog for more details to come on what pools to hit up in Boston.

Don’t forget the spf 15! :)

Charlestown Navy Yard Condos

By Erica Farthing 23 03 2009

Charlestown Navy Yard Condos

Charlestown Condos: Located in a Beautiful Community Convenient to Downtown Boston

The Charlestown condo market has flourished over the past decade due to the community’s beauty and its accessibility to downtown Boston. The now decommissioned Navy Yards that dominated Charlestown real estate have been converted into commercial and residential spaces. Charlestown real estate is a mix of Federal, Colonial, and Victorian style houses; brownstones lining Monument Square; and luxury Charlestown condos and townhouses along the waterfront. These luxury Charlestown condos are a hot commodity among young professionals, who are joining the families that have lived in Charlestown condos for years.

Due to the recent revitalization of Charlestown condos, many restaurants and shops have opened in downtown Charlestown real estate and along the waterfront. One of Boston’s waterfront restaurants, Tavern on the Water, is located in the Navy Yard. Downtown Boston and the North End are both a short walk for Charlestown condo dwellers. Charlestown real estate is very desirable for professionals who work downtown or in the Financial District.

If you are looking to invest in Charlestown real estate, there are a variety of choices available. However, finding the perfect Charlestown condo can be tricky if you don’t have the proper resources.
