Seaport

 

Located on Boston’s waterfront, just across from downtown, this “innovation district” is one of Boston’s most rapidly growing neighborhoods. Filled with close to 100 restaurants and eight different hotels, this area includes four neighborhoods: Fort Point, Fan Pier, the Convention Center, and the Marine Industrial Park.

 

A popular destination for tourists and locals alike, there is plenty of art, culture, and history here. Visitors can explore the Institute of Contemporary Art’s collection of masterpieces, hop on an Old Town Trolley, bring the family to the Boston Children’s Museum, or take a tour of the Boston Tea Party ships. Harbor cruises host sightseeing tours, waterfront restaurants serve everything from breakfast to late-night snacks, and a host of concerts and events are featured at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion, one of the city’s largest outdoor amphitheaters.

 

Real estate here is a mix of condo and apartment conversions, developed in space that was formerly used as industrial warehouses. New construction mid-rises (many with high-end luxury units) offer lots of residential amenities.

 

Seaport residents are undoubtedly sophisticated, drawn to the area for its smart appreciation for art and plentiful wine offerings. The bulk of the population here lives in renovated brick warehouses and newly-constructed residential towers. Culture, fashion, and food are essential aspects of life for this cosmopolitan crowd, who lives a fast-paced, exciting lifestyle.

 

In a word, activity in Seaport is stylish. 

 

Locals love spending Saturdays at Row 34, a brick-and-wood eatery that serves an extensive oyster menu and plenty of craft beer.

 

At Mayhew, there’s a wide range of vintages to choose from as well as craft beer and cider. There’s a great cheese selection here that celebrates the diversity in styles and flavors available from farmers in New England and worldwide.

 

There are several locations of the locally famous Flour Bakery + Cafe throughout Boston, each offering crackling baguettes warm from the oven, silky-smooth chocolate cream pies, and lemon curd cakes filled with raspberry preserves. The Seaport outpost is always buzzing, creating fresh, made-to-order salads and sandwiches and pouring oversized cups of cafe latte to morning commuters.

 

At Trillium, a brewery and restaurant founded in 2013 grounded in the concept of a New England farmhouse brewery, local ingredients are the stars of the menu. With two year-round locations in the Fort Point and Fenway neighborhoods and a seasonal beer garden on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Boston is the heart of this brewery’s operations.
