Overview
Jamie's South End Series: Golden Triangle
From dollar dumplings at Banyan to Jazz Brunch at Beehive, or the burger at Deluxe; the Golden Triangle is like no other sub-neighborhood in Boston. 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!
Location
This sub-neighborhood runs from Columbus Avenue, the South End/Back Bay borderline, to Tremont Street, the spine of the South End. In between are a handful of fantastic streets that support no shortage of high end homes. While picturesque Appleton Street arguably holds the most prestige, Chandler, Montgomery, Clarendon and Warren Avenue are not far behind. Plus, the smallest streets, Lawrence and Gray, add some intrigue to this sub- neighborhood.
$2M+ Luxury Market Data
The Golden Triangle saw the largest amount of sales volume out of the South End sub-neighborhoods, totaling $76,957,400 spread across 24 sales above $2M. It’s no wonder this area is known as “golden.” This is a significant increase from sales volume in the Golden Triangle in 2023 ($48.9M). Not only did the Golden Triangle see the largest amount of sales volume in the South End, but it also had the highest price per square foot out of the sub-neighborhoods, averaging $1,421.
Golden Triangle Record Sales and High-Value Deals
The top sale in the area was 505 Tremont St which traded for $4,900.000, or $2,114.80 per square foot. Atelier 505 is one of very few full service offerings in the South End with a doorman, concierge and elevator service. The primely located building was constructed in 2005 and has always been a top destination for discerning buyers in the South End.
Another fascinating sale in the Golden Triangle in 2024 was the purchase of 1 Dartmouth Place in August. This rather small single family, with only 1,967 SF of interior space, was able to attract multiple bidders and drive the final sales price over the asking price by nearly $100,000. Notching an incredible $2,018 per square foot on the sale is virtually a record for single family sales in the South End.
