Charlestown Condos

Are you in the market for a new condo in Charlestown, Boston's oldest neighborhood? This sprawling, historic neighborhood has been overwhelmingly residential throughout most of its history, and that remains true to this day. Recently, a surge in development has resulted in the construction of a number of new luxury condo buildings around the neighborhood. These new units are often found in high-rise buildings, but you can find condos in repurposed brownstones, single-family homes and other buildings. Finding exactly what you need doesn't have to be difficult. Boston City Properties can help. Read on below to learn more.

Like most of Boston, Charlestown is in the midst of a major seller's market. Competition for real estate is fierce, and that is especially true about condos. While many new units have hit the market, they are getting snapped up quickly. Prices had been trending up for years, and that has intensified even more now that inventory is so tight. None of this is to say that finding a condo in this neighborhood is impossible. Quite the contrary. With the right help, you can easily get exactly what you need. Boston City Properties has you covered.

Finding Condos in Charlestown

Some of the most sought-after condos in this neighborhood are located in its best-known and most luxurious developments. You'll find plenty of viable options in places like Parris Landing, Starboard, Flagship Wharf and The Nautica, where high-end amenities draw in some of the city's most discerning residents. These developments boast everything from 24/7 concierge services to on-site fitness centers and yoga studios, so you practically never have to leave for anything. Then again, some of the most unique and elegant condos are found in old Victorian brownstones and other well-maintained single-family residences that line the streets of this storied neighborhood.

Since you've already selected Charlestown as your desired neighborhood, a big part of your search is already over. There's a lot to love about this neighborhood--especially if you are looking for a quieter place to live. However, Charlestown is also one of the city's largest neighborhoods, so it is important to explore its various streets to figure out exactly where you'd like to be. You'll find that many of the newer developments are situated near the water, but there are plenty of options all over the neighborhood, so there's no need to limit yourself to that area.

Once you've figured out a general area where you'd like to live, think about the kind of condo you want. How big should it be? How many bedrooms and baths should it have? The vast majority of condos in this market have one to three bedrooms. Most offer up to 1,500 square feet of space, but larger and smaller units are readily available. When you're ready to find a condo, use Boston City Properties' search tool to filter your results based on total living area and total beds and baths. You can also select a price range, so you can find the perfect thing more easily.

After figuring out the essentials, consider the types of "nice-to-have" features that the ideal condo would have. These are things that you could technically live without but would be thrilled to have. Floor-to-ceiling windows are a prime example, and they would be on your list if you're worried about getting lots of natural light and about taking in amazing views. If you enjoy cooking, you'll probably want a unit with a gourmet kitchen that includes high-end stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space. Jot down these "nice to have" features, and refer to the list while checking out potential units.
