About Living in the
Seaport District
This area is popular, for good reason. Not surprisingly, the seaport district of South Boston is located beautifully along the water. The area is designed for easy strolling along the HarborWalk, and there are bars and restaurants for all ages and budgets. The Institute of Contemporary Art is located in this area in a contemporary building with an absolutely stunning deck overlooking the water. In the summer time there are Friday music concerts on the deck of the museum. Nearby, there are many green spaces to enjoy. Seaport is one of the many reasons we love Boston as much as we do!

Historically an industrial area with warehouses and shipping facilities, the Seaport has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years, transforming into a vibrant mixed-use district with a focus on innovation, technology, and culture.
The Seaport has become a hub for technology and innovation, with many tech companies, startups, and incubators choosing to locate in the area. This has led to the development of collaborative workspaces and a strong entrepreneurial community.
