The Boston region has some of America's oldest cemeteries, with a handful stretching back to the early 1600s and a goodly proportion launching well before the 1900s.
This week’s Critical Mass. also includes a Quincy development off the Red Line, an Orange Line connection for Encore Boston Harbor, and downtown Boston’s first automated parking garage.
The 610-unit Abby, which broke ground at the end of September, will be off a Red Line stop in a city increasingly popular because of its proximity to Boston.
Getting a good view is not always easy. Even peak points such as the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown fail to offer decent vantages. These nine points do just that, however.
Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a weekly column that explores what one can rent or buy for a set dollar amount (or thereabouts) in the Boston area. Is one woman’s studio another woman’s townhouse? Let’s find out!
Median one-bedroom apartment rents in Medford, Quincy, Waltham, Lowell, Framingham, Fall River, and Worcester are up by double-digit percentages for July compared with the same month in 2017, according to a new analysis.
The launch comes as more dockless bikes than ever hit the streets of the Boston area and Blue Bikes—the official bike-share of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and Brookline—expands. The twin trends have raised legal and regulatory questions.
Some of Boston’s most significant developments are going up around or on major transit hubs. But can the T handle the influx of residents these projects will bring?
The MBTA board on December 4 voted to approve a plan to plunk as many as 602 apartments atop and around the transit hub. The Quincy City Council voted on December 18 to approve the same plan—with 300 apartments, max, instead of 602.
Here’s how the annual Curbed Cup works: We present two matchups a day during the first round. Polls stay open 24 hours for each one. The biggest vote-getter in each matchup advances to the second round. And so on.
Several projects either underway or planned near and at Red Line stations are set to add thousands of condos and apartments beside the T’s busiest route.
Plans also call for upgrading the station—a stop on the Red Line—with a new bus terminal and the restoration of more than 600 parking spots lost when a garage was closed for repairs in 2012.
For those new to the area or to the Thunderdome that is the Boston region’s real estate market, $200K is a rather low sum usually discussed in terms of buying a parking space.
The 352-unit apartment complex, which recently opened, is just over the Neponset River from Boston’s Dorchester. Available spreads start at around $2,100 a month and go way up from there.
The MBTA has put out a feeler for developing several acres of air rights above and around the Red Line and commuter-rail stop. A project there would join a mess of construction pivoting on transportation centers.
Our latest Curbed Comparisons dives into the half-million mark in Boston’s southern neighbor. It turns out the figure can land buyers in bonafide single-families as well as thoroughly modern condos near the waterfront.
One is definitely more expensive than the other, even when you get to the tops of their respective markets. Yet, one analysts says it’s only a matter of time before Quincy matches its much bigger northern neighbor.
With the advent of spring, it’s time to look forward a few months. What’s on the horizon for the Boston area in terms of prices, rents, construction, and transit?
A Boston-based developer has proposed constructing a 171-room hotel in Quincy Center on a vacant retail strip that the developer already owns and a city-owned parking lot adjacent to it.
The Curbed Cup, our annual award for the neighborhood of the year, rolls on with 16 neighborhoods vying for the prestigious (fake) trophy. Voting for each pairing ends 24 hours after it begins. Let the eliminations continue!
