Prices of new Allston condos approach those in the South End

The average price for a market-rate home in Allston as of mid-March was $700 a square foot, according to an analysis from real estate research site NeighborhoodX.

A range of $352 a foot to $1,078 a foot produced that rather high average. More to the point, a specific species of housing drove the average.

“The prices for new-development condo units in Allston are approaching the average prices in the South End,” Constantine Valhouli, NeighborhoodX’s research director, said over email.

The 79 condos at 180 Telford Avenue are, indeed, brand-new—and completely sold-out.
