New Construction in Boston

While Boston is known for its historic architecture—from Beacon Hill's brick rowhouses to Back Bay's Victorian brownstones—the city has seen significant new construction in recent years, especially in neighborhoods like the Seaport District, Fenway, and parts of South Boston.

Benefits of New Construction

  • Modern Systems: New HVAC, plumbing, and electrical
  • Energy Efficiency: Better insulation and windows (important for Boston winters)
  • Amenities: Gyms, rooftop decks, package rooms
  • In-Unit Laundry: More common in new buildings
  • Central AC: Unlike many older Boston buildings

New construction typically has fewer violation records simply because the buildings are newer. However, our scoring still looks at any issues that have been reported and how quickly management addresses them.
