Is it too soon to call present-day, as we-know-it South End the Old South End?

While we impatiently wait for these developments to take shape, let's not forget about what makes the South End a desirable place to live in the first place. The renovated and restored brownstones, dating back to the 19th century, serve up luxury and historical charm all in one. To make it easier to choose from, we're just browsing under the $1 million mark.
