South Boston - Boston,
Massachusetts
Once a predominantly Irish Catholic community, in recent
years South Boston has become increasingly desirable among young
professionals and families who are attracted to the neighborhood's
strong sense of community and quick access to downtown and public
transportation. People from all over the city enjoy taking a stroll
around Castle Island, a Revolutionary War-era fort and 22-acre park
that is connected to the mainland. "Southie Pride" is on full
display in March when city residents flock to the neighborhood to
enjoy the annual South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade. Today the
breathtaking South Boston Waterfront is emerging as Boston's newest
neighborhood. Already home to the Boston Convention and Exhibition
Center, planned development for the Waterfront includes residential,
office, retail, and hotel use. The Institute for Contemporary Art,
slated to open in September, stands as an iconic symbol of the South
Boston Waterfront's unlimited potential.
