About this Neighborhood
South End Boston is the city's most architecturally intact Victorian neighborhood and one of its most self-assured. The 64 restaurants include Tremont 647, which anchored the neighborhood's food scene before the rest of the city caught up, and MIDA, which arrived after. Flour Bakery's two South End locations are institutions. Sixteen coffee shops including Render Coffee and Starbucks serve a resident mix that spans longtime owners and recent arrivals who pay the same rent in different currencies of sacrifice. Thirty parks — the highest count in this entire batch, by a significant margin — are the neighborhood's defining built asset: Bradford Street Park, the string of Victorian garden squares, the linear parks along Columbus Avenue. Social glue at 74. YWCA, Healthworks, Blackstone Community Center Gym in the fitness layer. Grocery is the quiet gap: 6 stores, in-line but not saturated for the density.
