Does East Boston have noticeably more of these small 3-10 unit infill projects than other neighborhoods? Seems like a lot going in!

Does East Boston have noticeably more of these small 3-10 unit infill projects than other neighborhoods? Seems like a lot going in!

I think it is just the effect of astronomical real estate values. There is a tipping point where it becomes viable to fill in the gaps in the urban fabric. I have seen this cycle through neighborhoods. South End was first (with only a few gaps); South Boston was next with a lot of these small infill developments 5-10 years ago, now East Boston.

(Obviously also happening in other Boston area neighborhoods, but East Boston had/has a lot of urban fabric gaps.)

Top down view of the gap at 28-30 Swan Avenue, listed in @mssrro post, that became economically favorable to fill.

Speaking of gaps I cant believe that massive development along the abandoned rail ROW hasnt happened yet. That was really going to fix one of the major scars left in eastie. Hopefully soon.

 

[cooper]

That's a massive scar, no doubt. Probably never happen, but I'd love to see a BL branch connecting to the CR and into Revere. for the actual ROW
