SOUTH END
It wasn't too long ago that the South End was home to just a few pioneers, drawn by a stock of beautiful brownstones full of original detail-and undeterred by restoration work and the lack of easy subway access. These days, carefully renovated properties are the norm, and the city's trendiest restaurants can be found nearby, along with young families battling for a bowfront townhouse. There are a lot of options-the South End boasts the largest Victorian brick row-house district in the country, as listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood is also known for dozens of pocket parks, art galleries, and the SoWa Vintage Market every Sunday.
