Boston lifestyle, investment, and rental notes

Lifestyle

Boston is walkable, cold in winter, and student-busy. Neighbourhoods are small and identity-rich. Cambridge is a separate political city that functions as part of the same housing market.

Investment

Scarcity and high incomes support prices. Triple-deckers are a classic small-multifamily product with tenant-law overlays. Condo conversions have already happened in many rows.

Rentals and development

Students and hospitals keep rental demand structural. New towers appear in a few Seaport-style districts. Most of the historic core cannot add much supply.
