Kimberlee's Top Tips For Seaport Living
For Buyers:
- The Seaport is known for high-end, luxury condos with amenities like concierge services, rooftop decks, and fitness centers. Be prepared to pay a premium for this modern, waterfront lifestyle.
- Properties with unobstructed water or city skyline views are highly desirable in the Seaport. If views matter to you, consider units in newer high-rises like the St. Regis Residences or Echelon Seaport.
- Many Seaport buildings have high HOA fees to cover luxury amenities and maintenance. Ensure these fees align with your budget before making a purchase.
For Investors:
- Luxury condos in the Seaport attract executives, professionals, and families. Properties in buildings with amenities and waterfront locations are particularly popular with long-term renters.
- The Seaport’s proximity to downtown Boston, financial districts, and major employers makes it ideal for professionals and families. Invest in units with multiple bedrooms to target this demographic.
- The Seaport is a rapidly developing neighborhood. Investing in units within newer projects or those close to planned amenities and infrastructure can yield strong appreciation over time
