Neighborhood guide
Charlestown
Brick rowhouses, gas lamps, the Navy Yard
Charlestown is one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods, a compact square mile of brick rowhouses, gas-lit streets and the Bunker Hill Monument at its center. Monument Square and the streets around it hold some of the city’s most sought-after historic homes, while the Charlestown Navy Yard offers condos in converted shipyard buildings, a marina and the Harborwalk.
The USS Constitution is berthed at the Navy Yard, Main Street has a neighborhood’s worth of restaurants and shops, and downtown is a short walk across the bridge or a ferry ride from the Navy Yard. Buyers here are often weighing a historic rowhouse against a waterfront condo, and Ryan helps them compare the two honestly.
