Situated right on the north end of Boston, Charlestown is a neighborhood that is rich in history – particularly naval – and proud of its Irish roots. On the banks of Boston Harbor and the Mystic River, Charlestown retains that old-time feel while also embracing that more modern, busy look that has gradually turned it into one of the most appealing areas of the city, both for renters and buyers.
Some of Boston’s most prominent landmarks are located in Charlestown, including the U.S.S. Constitution, the Bunker Hill Monument, and the Charlestown Navy Yard. Despite its strong, long-established Irish population, today Charlestown is also home to a thriving community of immigrants from all over the world, many of whom are young professionals enticed by the opportunities and lifestyle that the area offers.
Walking along Main Street and City Square, you won’t help but notice a wide array of local businesses, shops, and restaurants. Residents of all ages make up the rich tapestry of the small, flourishing community that Charlestown is.
