Castle Island in South Boston across the water in late-afternoon light

South Boston, Southie to nearly everyone, stretches from Broadway Station to Castle Island, with Carson Beach, M Street Beach and Pleasure Bay along its southern shore. East and West Broadway are the main streets, lined with restaurants and shops, and the housing mixes classic triple-deckers and rowhouses with a large number of newer and renovated condos.

The Red Line at Broadway and Andrew connects the neighborhood to downtown and Cambridge, and the Seaport District is next door. Buyers often look in South Boston and the Seaport at the same time, and Ryan works in both, so he can show how the two compare on price, space, parking and outdoor space.

Questions about South Boston

What is South Boston like for home buyers?

South Boston offers city beaches, Castle Island, a busy restaurant scene along Broadway and a quick Red Line trip downtown. Buyers will find condos in renovated triple-deckers, newer condo buildings and single-family rowhouses.

Is South Boston the same as the Seaport District?

No. The Seaport District sits on the South Boston waterfront but is a distinct neighborhood of mostly new high-rise buildings, while South Boston proper is the older residential neighborhood to its south. Ryan Persac works in both and can explain the differences.
