A historic neighborhood on the cusp of a new identity in the heart of Boston

Historic Trendy Urban Walkable

The Textile District encompasses just a few blocks across Essex Street near Chinatown in the heart of Boston. Once a bustling fabric and textile center in the 18th and 19th centuries, today the Textile District blends modern high-rises with historic brick buildings for a taste of both old and new Boston. There’s a diverse mix of rentals, most of which are on the pricier side because of the convenient location. Essex Street is where you’ll find incredible dining, from sushi and American to Italian and French. Proximity to the rest of Boston’s entertainment hotspots means you’ll never be without something to do.
