Adjacent to the commercial roads of Boylston Street and Huntington Avenue, an area comprising a large supermarket, an abundance of office towers, shopping centers, large hotels, bars and restaurants, and Chinatown with the financial district just beyond, the South End is quickly becoming among Boston’s most desirable neighborhoods. Built upon a former tidal marsh prior to the Civil War, its original purpose was to house Boston’s wealthiest citizens, thus its abundance of Victorian brick row houses, many of which now comprise apartments and condominiums. But starting with the panic of 1858, many of these luxurious and large single-family homes became rooming houses for some of the city’s poorest citizens. The Back Bay then became a venue for the rich.Then starting in the 1960s, after renovations wealthier folks started moving in, transforming the area closer to its original high-end status. And similar to the 1840s, centrally located Tremont Street is today the South End’s most fashionable street, including upscale restaurants, art galleries, clubs, retail stores and a theater. Today Tremont Street is sort of a lower cost and culturally diverse version of the Back Bay’s Newbury Street.
And the South End offers excellent access to public transportation to downtown, including numerous bus lines, the MBTAs Orange Line, which runs underground off Columbus Avenue, and the Green Line underneath Boylston Street. A walk to the financial district might be twenty-five minutes.
