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. Most of these are on Shawmut Ave or Washington Street.

In 2024, South End South had 5 sales over $2M, one less than in 2023, totaling $13,394,000. The average price achieved per square foot across these sales was $1,369. While 4 of the 5 sales stayed in the $2M range, one property – 140 W Concord St Unit 1 – sold for $3,012,500, achieving 98.77% of ask. Although this was the highest priced sale of 2024 in South End South, it is still $282,500 lower than the highest selling price in 2023. South End South only saw the sale of one single family home in 2024 – 1 Cumston St – which lasted 20 days on the market. 

Notably, there was only one off-market sale in this sub-neighborhood in 2024 priced over $2M. 122 W Concord St Unit 1 sold at $2,689,000 before ever hitting the market.

United South End Settlements, an institution with deep history in the neighborhood, offers childcare and family services at their location on Rutland Street. The organization spent much of 2019 wrestling with the community over the sale of their building at 566 Columbus Avenue. They offer fun and engaging community events throughout the year (check out their annual gala in May or their Halloween Haunted House if you want a real scare!) in addition to their everyday mission of disrupting the cycle of poverty within the South End and Lower Roxbury Community.
