With its array of luscious open spaces and historical buildings, South Boston is a neighborhood where tradition and contemporary urban life go hand in hand. It is from South Boston’s Dorchester Heights that President Washington’s army was able to fight off the British army in 1776.

Dorchester Heights is now a National Park, and is surrounded by other historical hills that make up the unique landscape of this district. Take a walk up one of these hills to enjoy breath-taking, sweeping views of Boston Harbor and the city’s skyline.

With its wide range of amenities, thriving artistic community, and proximity to the waterfront, South Boston attracts people of all ages and backgrounds, driven to it by its flourishing facilities, shopping destinations, and outdoor activities.

With solid Irish roots, the neighborhood offers a wealth of pubs and old-school diners, mingled with more contemporary and hip eateries that serve cuisine delicacies from all over the world.
