| The Boston real estate market has
been as busy as any real estate market in the country for well over 10
years now. The Boston market has changed of late though as real estate
sales have slowed, real estate prices have stagnated and interest rates
have continuously edged upward. About Boston: Boston is an historic city
of contrasts. Ancient red-brick sidewalks twist past handsome Federalist
houses on the way to soaring glass towers housing state-of-the-art technology.
The sports teams are the best loved and the most hated at one and the same
time.
Residents are fiercely protective
of their neighborhoods and fiercely critical of the MBTA, the government
and the weather. In the harbors of Boston lie both the majestic U.S.S.
Constitution, still commissioned to fight America's battles, and scores
of sleek white fiberglass pleasure boats. There are tiny restaurants tucked
into rosy brick town houses on Beacon Hill and huge restaurants on the
dizzying tops of skyscrapers in the downtown. Food ranges from the most
radical of nouvelle chic to downhome Cajun.
Boston is a diverse modern city of
neighborhoods. From the North End to Bay Village, Back Bay to the South
End, Jamaica Plain to Charlestown, the city shows its diversity of populations,
of languages, of foods and philosophies. Immigrants from every corner of
the globe have been welcomed by the city and re-shaped into Americans whose
memories and customs enrich the community. |
