EAST BOSTON
The Place To Be
Known affectionately as "Eastie," East Boston is a neighborhood defined by its vibrant energy and breathtaking geographic position. Situated directly across the harbor from the city center, it offers some of the most iconic skyline views in New England. The area is a mosaic of historic charm and modern renewal, featuring the architectural character of Eagle Hill’s renovated brownstones alongside the sleek, contemporary residences of Jeffries Point.
Beyond its scenic waterfront, East Boston thrives as a cultural and recreational hub. Residents enjoy an eclectic dining scene that ranges from legendary Italian bakeries and pizzerias to authentic international cuisine. The neighborhood is also home to expansive green spaces, including:
Piers Park: An award-winning waterfront park with a 600-foot pedestrian boardwalk and fitness areas.
The Mary Ellen Welch Greenway: A 3.3-mile scenic path perfect for jogging or cycling that connects the waterfront to the sandy shores of Constitution Beach.
Tall Ship Boston: A unique seasonal destination featuring a floating oyster bar and, as of 2026, a winter village with an outdoor ice rink.
With seamless connectivity via the Blue Line and water taxis, Eastie provides a retreat-like atmosphere that remains just minutes away from the heart of Boston.
