Boston, MA Real Estate — Homes For Sale in Boston, MA

Boston is the capital and most populous city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States, and the 21st most populous city in the United States. The city proper covers 49 square miles with an estimated population of 692,602 in 2019, also making it the most populous city in New England, and is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) home to a census-estimated 4.8 million people in 2016 and ranking as the tenth-largest such area in the country. As a combined statistical area (CSA), this wider commuting region is home to some 8.2 million people, making it the sixth most populous in the United States. Boston is one of the oldest municipalities in the United States, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from the English town of the same name. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon gaining U.S. independence from Great Britain, it continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub as well as a center for education and culture. The city has expanded beyond the original peninsula through land reclamation and municipal annexation. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing more than 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public park (Boston Common, 1634), first public or state school (Boston Latin School, 1635) and first subway system (Tremont Street subway, 1897). Today, Boston is a thriving center of scientific research. The Boston area's many colleges and universities make it a world leader in higher education, including law, medicine, engineering, and business, and the city is considered to be a global pioneer in innovation and entrepreneurship, with nearly 5,000 startups. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, and government activities. Households in the city claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States; businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and investment. The city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States as it has undergone gentrification, though it remains high on world livability rankings.

Date And Time Sat, October 26, 2019 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT About this Event Boston Harbor Now is excited to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Boston Harborwalk-the waterfront public path system that rings our historic harbor. As part of the celebration, Boston Harbor Now is leading a series of adventurous walks on the existing Harborwalk. The walk includes the Charlestown locks, Paul Revere Park, East Boston Shipyard, and the Lo Presti Park. We'll be traveling through a mix of city, state, federal, and private parks, and we're excited to have friends from the National Park Service kick off the walk before we head to the Charlestown Navy Yard. We'll also be joined by members of the Friends of the Boston Harborwalk and representatives from some of the waterfront developments that we'll be passing, but it will not be a formal walking tour. This walk is a great opportunity to learn about the Harbor you love, connect to fellow community members, and get some healthy aerobic exercise in true 80's style! Registration includes: A guided adventure along Boston's waterfront at a breezy walking pace An 80's retro-branded, throwback fanny pack loaded with yummy snacks A fun way to meet your daily recommended step count and burned calories Hot coffee (served before the walk) Refreshments (served at the end of the walk) A chance to make new friends and memories on Boston's Harborwalk! Please be advised: The walk will include a mixture of sidewalks, paths, dirt trails, and potentially stairs that participants will need to navigate. Participants should be in good health and able to walk for several hours at a steady pace. This walking group has space for 150 participants, including resilient children and well-behaved dogs on leashes. Transportation: Since the walk starts and ends in different locations, we strongly encourage you to take public transportation. The starting location is less than a 5-minute walk from North Station. The walk ends near the Maverick MBTA subway station. less
