East Boston has undergone one of the most significant residential transformations in Greater Boston over the past decade. Waterfront condominium developments now line the harbor's edge, offering skyline views that rival — and in some cases surpass — those found in the Seaport at a fraction of the cost. The neighborhood's interior streets are built on a foundation of multi-family housing: two- and three-family properties with strong rental histories and solid bones, many now being converted into modern condominiums with designer-grade finishes. New construction townhouses have also entered the market, particularly along the East Boston Greenway. The Blue Line provides direct downtown access in minutes, and the combination of waterfront positioning, transit connectivity, and relative value has made East Boston one of the most compelling acquisition opportunities in the city.
44,121 people live in East Boston, where the median age is 37 and the average individual income is $54,014. Data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
