The Yellow Arrows are Bad. The Red Arrows are REALLY Bad.
New season, new sport, new furniture giveaway - definitely time for some new listings. And on this dreary, half-rainy morning, wouldn’t you rather be a nice, quick T ride away from work than a backed-up, miserable car ride? One look at today’s traffic report (right) from Fox 25 should answer the question for you.
360 Newbury St #604 puts you literally right upstairs from the T. Wanna go downtown? No problem. Wanna ride all the way out to Newton? Yes, you can do that, too. And all without the stop-go bumper jockeying that’s part and parcel with an automotive commute. Worried about the lack of photos? I’ve got you covered.
If a five-minute walk won’t force you into your car, take $200,000 off that price, buy an umbrella, put the rest in the bank, and move into 250 Commonwealth Avenue #11. A much more cost-effective implementation of your 800-some odd square feet, 250 Comm comes with a view and an interior much more typically Back Bay.
But hey - I understand you’re not all single. Some of you aren’t even just couples. And that’s great! Higher-occupancy residencies reduce carbon footprints, decrease traffic congestion, and increase economic viability. 36 Hancock St. #5B delivers on-the-T (Bowdoin, Park St, Gov’t Center) location, Beacon Hill elegance, and a price tag well below normal for the region.
And if you’re stuck in traffic and reading this from your iPhone/Crackberry, my heart goes out to you. Maybe you’ll get to work in time for someone to buy you a sympathy lunch.
