Boston, MA Condos and Townhomes for Sale

Condos are the most common way to own a home in Boston. For many buyers, a condo is the way into neighborhoods where single-family homes rarely come up for sale, and it comes with far less exterior upkeep than a house.

What You'll Find

Boston's condo options are unusually varied. In the South End and Back Bay, many condos sit inside converted 19th-century brownstones and bowfront rowhouses, with details like bay windows, high ceilings, and decorative fireplaces. In the Seaport, Fort Point, and parts of South Boston, you'll find newer elevator buildings with amenities such as fitness rooms, concierge service, and garage parking. Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and East Boston offer many condos in converted triple-deckers, often with one unit per floor and a private porch. Townhouse-style condos are most common in the South End, Back Bay, and Beacon Hill, with more in South Boston, Charlestown, and Brighton.

What Condos Cost

Prices vary widely by neighborhood, size, and building. Studios typically list around $400,000, one-bedrooms around $675,000, and two-bedrooms around $825,000. Most monthly condo fees fall between about $300 and $775, while full-service buildings downtown and in the Seaport often run above $2,000.

What to Check Before You Buy

Before you make an offer, look closely at parking. Some units include deeded parking, some offer it at an added cost, and many rely on resident street parking permits. It's also smart to review the association's reserve fund, any recent special assessments, pet rules, and rental restrictions.

Why Buyers Choose Boston Condos

Buyers choose Boston condos for walkability, MBTA access, and short commutes to downtown, the Longwood Medical Area, and the Seaport. Owner-occupants may also qualify for the city's residential property tax exemption.
