Allston & Brighton Market Update

Somerville, Fenway, and the Seaport are some of Boston’s hottest neighborhoods for new development, but you’re likely aware of that. Two other changing neighborhoods that have helped keep Boston booming with excitement, however, are  Allston and Brighton, where my wife and I recently moved to.

“Little Cambridge,” as it was formerly known, is an ever-emerging market in Greater Boston, and there is a lot to be excited about; including:

• a brand new MBTA stop on the horizon, along with much-needed consolidation of some B-Line stops (gets a thumbs up from this Green Line commuter);
• Allston’s “Green District” has brought luxury living and high-end amenities without the price tag seen in other parts of Greater Boston (my wife and I are happy residents);
• New Balance World Headquarters will soon welcome the Boston Bruins to the neighborhood; and
• Barry’s Corner, which could be the next Davis Square.

There’s more going on in Allston and Brighton than could fit into one blog post, but for the market watchers out there, this is what the Allston-Brighton condo market looked like in September 2014 as compared to the City as a whole:
