There's no shortage of prestigious addresses and streets in Boston, but many of them are concentrated in the little neighborhood of Beacon Hill. Just taking a look at our two-hour tour of Beacon Hill, you can see why it's such a desirable place to live. Countless monuments, the Public Garden, and the State House are all just outside. This week's open house tour is aiming high above the $1M mark, albeit it's about the average price of a Beacon Hill condo. Take a stroll through postcard streets and take a peek at what one can get for just a million or two.
