Check out the South End's Charm:
Follow along Jamie Gaines as she explores the neighborhood’s local stomping grounds, learning its neighborhood’s history, and virtually strolling through each of the 11 South End Sub-Neighborhoods!
This tight-knit community is actually the oldest and largest urban Victorian neighborhood in the country, which means these historic brick streets feature some of Boston’s best real estate.
Find your dream home in the South End, and follow along to see which sub-neighborhood is the best place for you!
Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle represents a premier Boston sub neighborhood. Other than forming a perfect geometric shape (it does not!), the Golden Triangle rarely disappoints its residents. The area is positioned just south of the Hancock Tower, west of the Financial District, and is under mile walk to Post Office Square. Since it’s so close to all of these bustling office hubs, commuters often find this neighborhood to be ideal! Learn more about the Golden Triangle >
Pilot Block
Eight Streets
Ready to fall in love with Jamie Gaines’ favorite South End neighborhood? Welcome to the Eight Streets!
The neighborhood of Eight Streets has rather rapidly developed into one of Boston’s most sought-after – and for good reason. Situated in the South End’s vibrant heart, Eight Streets boasts the best of both worlds: quiet, brownstone-lined streets alongside a vibrant commercial hub teeming with boutiques, distinctive restaurants, and cultural gems large and small.

Claremont
Green spaces are what make Claremont special, plus easy access to few T stops is more than you can say for most South End neighborhoods. Rutland and Concord Squares are prominent streets that have the quintessential “square” in the middle. While The Namesake “Claremont Park’’and parallel Greenwich Park do not actually feature a park/square in the middle of the street like the others, but back up to the SW Corridor! Plus, Claremont Park is a particularly special street, with the largest sidewalks in all of the south end! Learn more about Claremont >
Southwest Corridor Annex
This micro neighborhood is tucked along its namesake public park, the Southwest Corridor Park, and borders Back Bay. Here, older brownstones are being turned over to developers and creative new homeowners for gut renovations that are adding new luxury inventory to the area. This neighborhood is unlikely to see any larger new developments so this brownstone inventory is likely to remain extremely tight. Learn more about the Southwest Corridor Annex >
Ink Block
Outside of the Seaport, the Ink Block may be the only area in the city to transition fully from industrial and underutilized parking lots to full- scale, 24/7 live, work and play. This still-maturing community blends commercial and residential uses in a way that the traditional Back Bay and South End do not. Learn more about Ink Block >
South End South
What it lacks for creativity in its name it more than makes up for in the character and charms of this central South End area. The physical homes in this area are impressive and, more often than not, offer parking spaces which is rare in the other desirable South End sub- neighborhoods. While predominantly residential, South End South includes more than a handful of restaurants and coffee shops for neighbors to enjoy. Learn more about South End South >
Chester Square
Not all brownstone properties were created equal and it just so happens that the brownstones that were built around the Chester Square area of the South End were grander than many of the others in the area. The floor plates on Chester Square are routinely north of 1,000 SF and provide residents an extra large canvas to create their perfect home. Having said that, it’s no secret that there is a pricing discount for living on or near Massachusetts Avenue where “Methadone Mile” continues to be a blight on the community.

Worcester Square
Grounded by its namesake park, Worcester Square offers easy access to numerous green spaces, and represents an attractive option for those seeking practical elegance. Worcester Square has a strong neighborhood group that advocates for the area and cares for the park in the middle of the 19th century square. Hosting events throughout the year, but particularly in the summer, it proves to be a very welcoming place to come together as friends and neighbors. Learn more about Worcester Square >
