Price Reductions Near Columbus and Dartmouth
Last week, I professed my affection for the Columbus Avenue/Dartmouth Street area. I love the non-stop activity, the convenient shopping, and the world-class dining. I also get to enjoy amazing views of the Prudential, 111 Huntington and the John Hancock(s). Steps from my front door I can catch the T to shuttle me to anywhere in the city. Fun, beauty, and convenience, all in one place.
Several homes a quick walk away from the Back Bay T station dropped their prices in the last two weeks. Unfortunately, even after a quarter-million dollar price drop, I still can’t afford 151 West Canton Street. The dream of buying indoor acreage remains a dream.
These price drops will surely entice some more nice, wealthy families to move into the neighborhood.

The problem with this part of the South End is a no-so-little bar called Clery’s.
I used to be able to say, whenever my friends said they wanted to go to Clery’s “At least it’s better than the Foggy Goggle”.
Sadly, the Dropkick Murphy’s have now robbed me of that justification.

It always bums me out to hear about price reductions in my neighborhood that result in prices still well over the million dollar mark.

Do those units really generate $10k-20k/mo in rent revenue each?
