Beth Dickerson and the rest of the team at Dickerson Real Estate focus
on a very niche market in Boston, specifically the downtown neighborhoods
including Beacon Hill, Back Bay, the South End and the Waterfront.
Beth, Gabby, Charles and Katie know these neighborhoods very well
and will be excellent guides as you get to know Boston. To give you
an overview, the team has compiled the following community profiles.

Beacon Hill (www.beaconhillonline.com)
Steeped in New England's rich history, Beacon Hill is one of the city's favorite neighborhoods. Beacon Hill offers its residents - and many visitors - a wide array of restaurants and boutiques. It is quite close to Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden, some of the oldest green spaces in the United States, and the home to baseball fields, summer theater, the Frog Pond and winter skating. Narrow streets and cobblestone ways add to the picturesque appeal of Beacon Hill, and proximity to the state capital building imbues the neighborhood with a sense of history and currency that makes the enclave vibrant. Living options in this neighborhood range from grand Federal-, Greek Revival- and Victorian-style townhouses to cozy apartments.

Back Bay (www.nabbonline.com)
Best known for its upscale retail and dining options - particularly
Newbury Street - Back Bay is considered one of the premier residential
locations in the city. Copley Square, the Prudential Center, the Boston
Public Library, Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden all offer
ample and pleasant diversions for residents. For outdoor enthusiasts,
sidewalks along the Charles River offer the perfect opportunity for
walking, jogging, rollerblading and biking. During the summer months,
small sail boats area available for use and Boston's community boating
is based at the Esplanade, which is also the occasional home of open-air
concerts and fairs. Just steps from all the excitement are great living
options in historic brownstones and luxury, full-service condominiums
located at some of Boston's most exclusive addresses.

South End (www.southend.org)
A perennially popular area to live, the South End is considered to be one of the most exciting areas of the city as it has continually reinvented itself since major renovations in the 1960s. Known for its artistic flair and its diverse population, the neighborhood is flanked by an array of parks, coffee shops and budding art galleries. The neighborhood is also becoming well-known for its restaurants, which range from authentic ethnic fare to urban bistros. Most homes in the South End are Victorian brick row houses, though luxury living options within the neighborhood are becoming a popular option.

Waterfront
The Waterfront has long been considered a desirable area of Boston. Many tourists and Bostonians take advantage of the many attractions along the waterfront, including whale watches, harbor cruises, various historic sites - including the Boston Tea Party boat - and trips to the famed New England Aquarium, not to mention you are steps away from the vibrant Italian culture found in the North End. Among the housing options along the waterfront, luxury condominiums are increasingly popular.
