Midtown Area Information

Homes for Sale

A very small area originally consisting of only two buildings, this area has seen a surge in upscale buyers since the Ritz Towers and Grandview luxury buildings were completed. The original two residential buildings are experiencing a renaissance also.

It is dominated by the Boston Common. These 50 acres in the center of downtown Boston date to a 1640 town order reserving this land for military drills and "grazing of cattle." This huge island of green in the center of the city is a familiar reference point. The Common hosts summer plays, First Night events and skating at the Frog Pond.

The theater district is nearby, as well as the popular boutique shops of Newbury Street. Overlooking the Common are some of Boston's most luxurious hotels and full service Condominium buildings including the Four Seasons, The Ritz, One Charles Place, Grandview, and others.
