Look no further than East Boston for a luxury apartment in an up and coming area. Overlooking the financial district right on the water lies this affordable and close to downtown neighborhood. East Boston, or trendily referred to as “Eastie” gains its popularity from its proximity to the water and its convenient location along the Blue Line. This neighborhood offers million dollar views at a fraction of the price, not to mention an abundance of living space and greenery that is hard to find downtown. East Boston truly offers the best of both worlds, as it’s close to about everything.
