If you're searching for a new home and you haven't considered looking in Dorchester, you should probably reconsider. Here you'll find features you thought were just myths and legends in Boston, such as attached garage parking, multi-level living areas, and space on top of more space. What's even more shocking are the prices, ranging from $235K to $750K and all for properties offering a quick ride into the center of the city. What more, these 10 listings have only been on the market seven days or less, and something tells us that inventory moves fast in Dorchester just like everywhere else 'round here.
