More people read Curbed Boston in 2015 than in any other year (and we thank you kindly). Some stories on the site were more read than others, however. And many of those stories were about Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen and their real estate adventures around the region. So! To cull the top 10 most-read Curbed Boston articles of 2015, we dispensed with any about Tomsele (many of which dropped during previous years anyway) and instead went with those about other topics, all pecked out this year. Those topics turned out to range from apartment openings in Fenway to mega-listings in Brookline to new Beacon Hill condos to when the freakin' snow would finally melt.
