The rapidly expanding and thriving Seaport District is overwhelmingly dubbed Boston’s hottest neighborhood. Boston’s most notable dining, nightlife, and outdoor spaces are all a walking distance from Seaport’s luxury condos; Echelon Seaport, 50 Liberty, Pier 4, The Muse, The Benjamin, NEMA, soon to be St. Regis. The condo buildings pride themselves on having a leading view of the downtown Boston skyline.

Outside of the luxury condos, you can bask in Boston’s finest establishments; Tuscan Kitchen, Ocean Prime Steakhouse, Legal Harborside, The Grand, King’s Bowling, and Outlook Rooftop Bar which are some of the many top-ranking restaurants and nightlife options just a few steps away.

There is no shortage of fitness centers such as Equinox, EverybodyFights, and Corepower yoga along with barbershops, upscale salons and tailors, museums, and shopping all in the Seaport neighborhood.  Shopping options include Lululemon, Bonobos, Sephora, and more.  Start your days with the options of different coffee including Café Nero, Starbucks, or Tatte. 

Aside from Echelon that has an on-site grocery store, there will be an additional grocery store option for Seaport residents.  Trader Joes is expected to be opening this fall of 2019, which will be Seaport’s first full-scale grocery store.

The Seaport District balances old and new in an elegant tango.  Boston’s well-known Convention and Exhibition Center, Children’s Museum, and The Barking Crab are complemented by The Lawn on D, Harpoon Brewery & Beer Hall, and eclectic tapas joints.

The Seaport District is no longer up and coming; it has already made its mark as Boston’s newest, most elite neighborhood, and it is here to stay.  Search listings on Seaport’s luxury condo options by building that are still available, and contact Elevated Boston to schedule a visit with one of our agents.

The Quinn — located at 370-380 Harrison Ave in the highly desirable New York Streets neighborhood in Boston’s South End — is now taking pre-construction reservations. The Quinn is in the middle of one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the City, two streets from the Ink Block, which includes Boston’s flagship Whole Foods location as well as numerous restaurants and bars including Bar Mezzana, Fuji Ink Block and Lion’s Tail Food and Cocktail Bar. 

The Quinn is nestled between South Boston and the Back Bay and is a short walk from all of the phenomenal dining and entertainment options in the Seaport and Financial District. Everything you need is located just steps away from The Quinn. Not only is Whole Foods just a stone’s throw away, but there are also dozens of specialty grocers in the area. The South End Open Market @ SoWa runs every year from May through October and hosts roughly twenty eclectic food trucks, local artisans, and a farmer’s market overflowing with fresh produce. Locally owned gourmet markets are scattered throughout the neighborhood.  Alternatively, The Quinn has on-site garage parking for residents. So if driving is necessary, residents will have direct access to 93, the Mass Pike and Express Route to Logan. 

The South End is well-known for its rich culture. Upscale French bistros, Asian gastropubs, and oyster bars are some of the highlights in the dining scene (favorites include Aquitaine, Banyan Bar + Refuge, and B&G Oysters, respectively). However, entertainment goes way beyond dining. The Cyclorama — dating back to 1884 and famous for its copper skylight dome — hosts year-round events including theatre performances, pop-up food halls, and networking opportunities. The Griffin Museum of Photography features both emerging and well-known photographers, which rotate through the year. The Boston Center for Adult Education offers unique workshops including dance classes, Celebrity Chef classes, and computer classes. 

The South End is a vibrant, sophisticated neighborhood that The Quinn is proud to call home. The luxury condos are expected to open by late Fall 2020, contact an Elevated Luxury Buyer Agent today to schedule a sales presentation with The Quinn Team.

Opening their doors in 2021, The St. Regis Residences, Boston, could possibly be the final luxury waterfront developments in the sought-after Seaport district. Last but certainly not least, St. Regis echoes elegance, exclusivity, and indulgence.

St. Regis reflects its surroundings in perfect harmony. Designed by Ekus Manfredi Architects, the building evokes a billowing sail, seamlessly complementing the dramatic harbor views and unparalleled seaside experience. Highlights of Boston dining and entertainment are only a few steps away; St. Regis is surrounded by well-known favorites such as Mastros, Strega Waterfront, Committee and Lola 41 as well as The Institute of Contemporary Art, and Blue Hills Bank Pavilion. While located in the Seaport neighborhood — Boston’s newest, most premier area — St. Regis is a short walk to the Financial District, South End, and beyond. The Seaport is packed with upscale shopping, outdoor parks, gardens, and plenty of additional waterfront amenities. 

However, you don’t ever actually have to leave the building. The St. Regis Residences have your convenience and preferences in mind. Fitness and wellness options, leisure and social amenities, and waterfront bistro dining are just a few examples. Shared spaces are different at the St. Regis; residents practice their golf swing with the sports simulator, or enjoy a cocktail at the harbor-front private bar located in the elegant Grand Lounge. Blending leisure and fitness, the state-of-the-art exercise room includes all equipment you need, as well as personal training arranged through your personal St. Regis concierge. 

St. Regis is known internationally for its exceptionally unique butler service. Personal butlers handle a variety of tasks for residents and provide virtually any service, including: calendar management and reminders; delivery of packages, luggage, and groceries; and miscellaneous tasks such as providing fresh flowers or turn down service for residents' beds.

Boston Harbor might be best known as the site of the revolutionary Boston Tea Party, but today its major draw is the source of fresh seafood it offers. Whether you want to slurp down oysters or crack crab legs, Boston has it all. Here are five of our favorites around the Seaport Boston area.

Row 34

The Row 34 website proclaims: “If we could eat oysters and drink beer for every meal period, we probably would.” No surprise then that oysters are a highlight here! Make sure you don’t leave without trying the raw bar. Row 34 is also the spot to hit for boozy brunches. Complement your mimosa with salt pollock croquettes or traditional shrimp and grits with a spicy jalapeño twist.

ReelHouse is just under 1 mile away from 228 Webster St., East Boston at Jeffries Point.

The Barking Crab has been tempting Bostonians’ taste buds for over 20 years. Expect the casual atmosphere of a clam shack in a unique urban setting right alongside the marina in Boston’s Seaport District. Their menu offers pretty much every version of lobster and crab you could ask for. If you’re extra hungry, try the fisherman's platter of fried clam strips, scallops, shrimp, and haddock.

If you are anything like us, you are anxiously awaiting the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on July 4th. But where should you watch them from? Read on to see where our top 3 spots to catch the fireworks show this July 4th in the Boston area are. Fireworks begin at 10:30 pm on July 4th.

Charles River Esplanade

Although likely to be crowded, one of the best vantage points is from the Charles River Esplanade. We suggest catching the show from the Cambridge side if you’re looking for a little bit more room to spread out. 

Wrights Tower

While we don’t condone scaling the tower itself, this vantage point in Medford gives a breathtaking view of Boston’s skyline with the fireworks above it. 

Wollaston Beach

Pull up a chair on Wollaston Beach in Quincy and look northward to see the fireworks show a few miles away. 

Breaking ground in October of 2018, Winthrop Center is the largest investment for a single project in Boston. The 1.3 million square feet, 53 story, 500 unit luxury condo building – which will also offer office space – is expected to be ready for occupancy in 2022. Winthrop Center will be Platinum LEED Certified upon completion which will reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by as much as 80% compared to a standard building of its size.

During its initial planning phases, developers had planned a “Great Hall” to be lined with retail storefronts and restaurants. Since breaking ground the “Great Hall” has been revamped to connect Devonshire and Federal streets and has been dubbed “The Connector”. According to developers, “The Connector” is modeled after Boston’s numerous college campuses that are laid out to encourage spontaneous interactions with the people you see on a regular basis but don’t necessarily know. “The Connector” features large TV screens, removable furniture, and will act as a lobby most of the time but will be available for events.
