Curbed Comparisons is our map of similarly priced apartments around the region. This go-round it's 10 homes currently available for $599,000 on the nose (well, one of them just went to contract, no titanic surprise in this housing market). They run the gambit from a single-family in Charlestown with a studio apartment to rent out to a 28th-floor perch on the waterfront with a private balcony.
