Getting around

Red Line at Broadway and Andrew, plus buses to the Seaport and South Station.

What you'll find

Mostly condos — many in converted two- and three-families — and newer mid-rise buildings.

Local highlights

  • Castle Island and the Sugar Bowl loop
  • L Street and M Street beaches
  • Busy East and West Broadway corridors

Worth knowing before you buy

Read the condo association's budget and reserve study closely. Condo fees vary widely here.
