Boston’s coveted South End is a quaint residential neighborhood tucked between the Back Bay, Chinatown and South Boston. The area closely trails Beacon Hill in prestige, history, impressive Victorian-style houses, rows of beautiful bow-front brownstones and an established community feel.
Tremont Street is the forefront of activity, boasting independently-owned restaurants ranging from eclectic Spanish tapas, like those found at the always lively Toro, New American, funky modern Asian, African, a New England oyster bar, and arguably Boston’s best jazz club – the bohemian-themed Beehive. Dog-friendly parks, a large community garden project and ball fields for kids complete this well-rounded neighborhood suited for young professionals, new families and downsizers alike. In the warmer months, browse Boston’s largest outdoor bazaar, the SOWA Market, featuring an impressive array of local farm produce, baked goods and small-batch gourmet foods in addition to art, antiques, clothing and other handmade goods.
The South End prides itself on being low key, tight-knit and all inclusive. Its residents have worked tirelessly to maintain a small-town feel amidst the hustle of the city and they have largely been successful. Threatening this success, however, are the recent sales of several longstanding wholesale businesses sitting on prime land, including the Boston Flower Exchange and Quinzani’s Bakery. These parcels are now entertaining proposals for large scale, mixed-use housing and commercial projects that make the neighborhood one to watch in the coming months.
