63 Rutland St

Boston’s South End is a compact, historic neighborhood of brick row houses, tree-lined streets and distinctive Victorian architecture, with flat city blocks between Back Bay, Roxbury and the South Boston waterfront. Its four-season New England climate brings snowy winters and warm summers. Franklin Square and Blackstone Square offer landscaped paths and green space, while the neighborhood’s galleries and theaters add an arts presence. Dining and coffee spots cluster along Tremont Street and in the SoWa district, where galleries and a seasonal open-air market enliven the area; neighborhood shops and services are also easy to find. Walking is practical on the narrow streets, and bus routes, nearby subway stations and commuter rail connections link the South End to the rest of Boston. For the South End, the median rent is $3,820 per month, with a typical range of $1,150 to $17,500.
