The neighbourhood
South Boston sits on a peninsula south-east of downtown Boston. Residents point to the beach strip along Day Boulevard and Castle Island, a long-running Irish-American community, and the Seaport district next door, where office and lab development has changed the area's character. East and West Broadway are the main commercial streets, and the Red Line at Broadway and Andrew stations reaches downtown in a few stops.
If you want to compare, Boston itself covers the central districts, and Dorchester is the adjoining neighbourhood to the south, generally cheaper per square metre. East Boston lies across the harbour and is another alternative.
Tips for international buyers
- No residency requirement. Foreigners can buy US property freely, but lenders usually want a larger deposit from non-residents.
- Condo documents matter. Read the master deed, monthly fee and reserve fund before bidding.
- Expect competition. Offers often come with short deadlines in a strong market.
- Closing costs. Massachusetts charges a deed excise tax (roughly 0.46% of price), paid by the seller, plus attorney and title costs on the buyer's side.
- When you sell. FIRPTA withholding can apply for foreign sellers, so factor it into your exit plan.
