Jim Sells Boston - West End

The neighborhood of West End has a sad history. The Boston Planning and Development Agency (previously designated as the BRA) declared the West End a slum in 1957 and evicted thousands of West End residents before demolishing 41 acres of people's homes and history.

Old West Church

The bounds of West End are roughly the Charles River on the north, Cambridge Street on the west, Causeway Street on the south, and N Washington Street on the east. Within this area lies the West End Historical Museum, TD Gardens, North Station, Mass General Hospital, the Suffolk County Jail, the Museum of Science, and Old West Church. 

West End Condos

Housing in West End consists principally of condominiums. Many are found in mid-rises and high-rises. The price of condos has been in the range of $419,000 for a small studio to $2,895,000 for a large, 3-bedroom, waterfront unit. Rentals are available from $1600 to $7500 depending upon size, location, and amenities. Real estate markets are very fluid and can fluctuate in a matter of hours because homes can come on and off the market daily... even hourly. What is currently offered for sale is listed below.

The following chart is a visual representation of the cyclical nature of real estate and compares the ups and downs of West End to those of all of the city of Boston. The taller the column the better it is for buyers. The shorter the column the better it is for sellers. Hence 2007 was the best time for a buyer to buy in West End, while 2012-2016 were great years for sellers. However, buyers will be happy to know that the graphic below indicates a weakening seller's market.

How to Search for West End Real Estate

Many towns or neighborhoods are straightforward to search. Enter a zip code or a town name, and a bunch of listings appear; but, this only works well if you are just poking around and not seriously needing to find a home in a specific area. Zillow and the vast majority of brokers do not provide accurate results! Take for example a search from today. MLS for West End specifically searching "West End" = 7 listings. MLS using zip code "02114" = 50 listings. Zillow using "West End, Boston, MA" = 8 listings (includes condo no longer on the market!). BUT, there are actually 16 homes for sale as I write this! If you are a serious buyer, know that this is your best real estate site to search for homes in West End. Compare for yourself the results this page shows vs other search sites which include properties:

  1. already spoken for,
  2. not actually located in this neighborhood's limits, or
  3. which do not include all listings due to broker input errors.

So, save yourself time and frustration and bookmark this page and check back anytime to see what is truly currently available in West End. This site is updated by the official REALTOR®’s database every 15 minutes.

Our map search feature allows you to search and view properties on a map which you can manipulate simply by clicking on the map and moving it around. To save a map search, zoom in or out over your preferred area and then,

  1. Click on the hexagonal symbol to the top far right of the map,
  2. Click on the map where you'd like to mark your outer limit search, then
  3. Click where you'd like to end that line segment; and then,
  4. Continue clicking to end and begin each subsequent line segment until you have created a search box.
