By life on the edge, we literally mean at the edges of Boston, where location trumps everything else in neighborhoods such as the North End, the West End and the Waterfront. Living in some of the oldest neighborhoods in the city comes with its perks, such as unparalleled views of the Custom House Tower, easy access to other parts of Boston, and water vistas. These neighborhoods offer a mix of renovated brick-and-beam warehouses to full-service high-rises. Expect to pay anywhere between $350K to $970K.
