I wrote about the Back Bay condo market and what $600,000 could buy you there a few weeks ago, so I figured it would be an interesting proposition to now look at the Beacon Hill condo market (another one of the most expensive neighborhoods for Boston condos).  Beacon Hill is slightly less expensive on average than the Back Bay (median condo prices in Beacon Hill are $527,000 vs nearly $608,000 in the Back Bay over the past 3 months).  Still not cheap!  I guess being one of the most historic and desirable neighborhoods in one of the most expensive cities in the country doesn't exactly equal cheap....but you be the judge as to where you want to live!  See below what $600,000 will buy you for a Beacon Hill condo.  You can also read more about Beacon Hill in our new neighborhood section of this site.
