Beacon Hill Homes for Sale

One of the most expensive neighborhoods in Boston, Massachusetts, happens to be one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, Beacon Hill. Beacon Hill is a stately area that encompasses many past and present Brahmins. Here you’ll find cobblestones, bricks, and spectacular examples of Greek Revival and Federal architecture. The Hill is also home to one of the most-photographed streets in the nation, the beloved Acorn Street. This iconic alleyway graces innumerable paintings, postcards, Instagrams, and refrigerator magnets. 

Originally the neighborhood was known as Trimount, named after three peaks that defined the topography of the area. However, after 1795 the peaks were leveled off and the newly flattened hill was renamed. Today, this upscale neighborhood is a popular Sunday hangout for Bostonians and has excellent public transit options that include the Blue Line’s Bowdoin stop, the Green Line’s Park Street stop, and the Red Line’s Park Street and Charles MGH stops. In fact, the Hill is one of the city’s only areas within walking distance to every major T line. Also within walking distance is downtown, the Financial District, Mass. Eye and Ear, MGH, and several Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks.

This desirable location makes the Beacon Hill real estate market very competitive. The gorgeous historic brownstones in Beacon Hill also drive the high demand in the neighborhood, as do the brick sidewalks, famed purple windows, cobblestone streets, and gas lanterns. Condominiums in Beacon Hill sell at a premium price, but if you search early enough, you can find relatively reasonably-priced apartments in Beacon Hill. Nearly all Beacon Hill apartments’ leases begin between June and September, but many rent as early as six months earlier.
