Boston is one of the most dynamic cities in the country, full of history, rich with culture and loads of entertainment - it’s a great place to live and everybody knows it. But it’s always been a national leader in housing costs, and the extreme lack of real estate for sale in Boston is causing both demand and prices to skyrocket. Thousands of buyers are stretching themselves thin trying to find a home that offers them the best of city living - access to good food, short commutes, convenience of public transportation and a bounty of entertainment options. Luckily, developers and city officials have begun to invest in neighborhoods surrounding the city, turning many “stopover neighborhoods” into destinations for families and professionals. Falling squarely into this category is optimally located Allston-Brighton. What was once an area populated by recent graduates with 3-digit bank accounts has become thriving neighborhood, appealing to buyers who are looking for proximity to downtown and lower cost of living. Adding to the increasing swagger of the neighborhood are the luxury apartment buildings and condos for sale in Allston-Brighton, as well as some of Boston’s hippest dining and entertainment venues.
