NEIGHBORHOODS
Claremont
Overview
There are eight streets (not to be confused with THE Eight Streets!) in the South End that are designated as a “park” or “square.” Five of those are present in the Claremont neighborhood. Rutland and Concord Squares are prominent while namesake “Claremont Park’’ and parallel Greenwich Park intersect with the Southwest Corridor but do not actually feature a park/square in the middle of the street like the others. While they lack the park feature in the middle, these streets do have extra wide brick sidewalks which make a stroll (or a stoop session with neighbors) that much more pleasant. These feature streets are coveted by buyers as they add to the character of an already charming neighborhood.
Jamie's South End Series: 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! Another fixture within the neighborhood is Titus Sparrow Park which hosts events throughout the year.
Location
Columbus Ave runs directly through Claremont Neighborhood, which is enclosed by West Newton Street, Tremont Street, Camden Street, and the narrow Southwest Corridor Park. Green spaces characterize the neighborhood, and easy access to a few T stops means you’re never far from all that Boston has to offer. With Symphony Hall and the New England Conservatory as Claremont’s esteemed neighbors, you’re in good company in this unique Boston neighborhood.

$2M+ LUXURY MARKET DATA
In 2025, Claremont remained a steady performer in the $2M+ segment contributing to 18.82% of all South End sales in this category, making it the 2nd top producing sub-neighborhood. With $65.3M in total sales volume across 20 transactions, marked a meaningful rebound from 2024’s $55.5M across 19 sales. While overall activity remained below the peak levels of 2023’s 28 transactions and $76.8M in volume, the 2025 data points to a more measured, quality-driven market rather than a lack of demand.
