Commuting from Washington Square
Sometimes when we move clients into Washington Square from Brighton, Back Bay, Cambridge, and other places, they aren’t immediately sure how a commute from Washington Square will work for them.

Many of our clients are opting for more space, more outdoor space, and looking to create a comforting space. They all want home to be “better”. As Covid began to impact businesses and people made changes to their work lives and school lives, the kinds of properties that they looked to live in changed, too.
The Stonybrook neighborhood is a lovely collection of tree-lined streets featuring the Minton Stable Community Garden and the Rossmore-Stedman Playground (formerly, and still, known as the “tot lot”) and surrounded by Franklin Park, Forest Hills Cemetery, Soutwest Corridor Park, and the Arnold Arboretum.
Downsizing, what we call “Right-Sizing” is a very emotional and challenging process.
Many people want to move from the suburbs back to an urban environment where they lived in their younger days such as Brookline, Back Bay, and areas that have evolved such as The Seaport and South End. On the other side of the river, there is a pull to Harvard Square, on the Charles River, or the quickly developing Central Square.
Any media source will wax prolific on the Seaport transformation from parking lots and abandonment to chic new housing and restaurants. While that might become tiresome or redundant, it *is* true. Seaport is the new new and there are housing (and restaurant) choices that didn’t exist a few short years ago, and arguably, don’t exist in this quantity anywhere else in Boston.
