2/10Living in Boston
South Boston, or “Southie,” sits on Boston Harbor south of downtown, with a waterfront edge, a mix of residential streets, and a history shaped by its port and working waterfront. The harbor paths and beaches offer room for walks, fresh air, and views across the water; Carson Beach and the Harborwalk are notable outdoor draws. Broadway is a central corridor for cafés, restaurants, and bars, while shops and everyday services line neighborhood streets. The area’s Irish heritage is reflected in local traditions and historic sites, alongside newer arts and dining spots. Residents can walk or bike for many local trips, use MBTA buses and the Red Line at Broadway, Andrew, or South Station, or connect to downtown and regional highways. South Boston neighborhood rental data shows a median rent of $3,900 per month and a typical range of $1,490 to $30,000.
