Welcome to residential bliss in the heart of Boston

Historic Architecture Family-Friendly Urban Suburban

Nestled in Boston’s Beacon Hill, South Slope is a quaint neighborhood directly north of Boston Common, a historic urban park that hosted the British troops during the American Revolution. South Slope stretches from Charles Street to Hancock Street, bordering the Massachusetts State House. Although the neighborhood is mainly residential, South Slope offers a suburban setting with big-city amenities. South Slope is less than a mile from Downtown Boston, so it’s rather upscale, offering beautiful apartments and condos for rent in historic brownstones and brick residential buildings. Residents flock to this neighborhood for its family-friendly environment, historic charm, and unbeatable location in the heart of Boston.
