East Boston (boston), Massachusetts is a historic neighborhood just across the harbor from downtown Boston. An enclave for immigrants since the mid-19th century, the neighborhood is now home to people from all over South and Central America, Southeast Asia, Haiti, Eastern Europe and countless other places. Though it is well known as the home of Logan International Airport, East Boston is full of wonderful stores and restaurants representing its many different ethnic groups. Old Italian restaurants stand side-by-side with Brazilian cafes and Irish pubs along the neighborhood's busy streets today.
The landmass that is East Boston today was originally five islands — Noddle, Hog (later Orient Heights), Breed's, Governor's, Bird and Apple — that were connected using landfill, the latter three as part of the expansion of Logan Airport during World War II. Not long after the settling of Boston, Noddle Island served as grazing land for cattle. William H. Sumner began the process of developing the new landmass for a proposed turnpike in 1801; when the plan fell through, he continued to buy up land and founded the East Boston Company in 1832. In a few short years, the company established several transportation routes, a ferry service to the mainland, and a bridge to Chelsea, and the new neighborhood was annexed by the city of Boston in 1836.
The neighborhood's housing is a mix of historic and new, with many three-deckers lining its streets. In recent years, homeowners have been restoring the historic homes of the area to their former glory. Popular sites in the neighborhood include the Madonna Shrine, which contains a 35-foot marble statue of the Madonna; Constitution Beach, one of the most popular beaches in the city; Piers Park, which overlooks the harbor and features several pavilions and an amphitheater; and Suffolk Downs, a thoroughbred race track which also serves as a venue for live musical performances.Through this site you will find comprehensive facts about as well as extensive information on buying or selling real estate in East Boston (Boston), Massachusetts.

Massachusetts: The Past, Present & Future of Our Country
"Why Massachusetts?"
Why not? Located in the heart of New England, Massachusetts is the region's most popular state. Rich with the history of our country and still on the cutting edge of technology, Massachusetts offers a perfect blend of the past, present and future.
From the stunning seacoast, Cape Cod, the islands and Boston to the peaceful beauty of the Berkshires and the Blue Hills, Massachusetts offers something to everyone! Every year, new residents are drawn to Massachusetts for the diversity of culture and activities available in Boston, the picturesque seaside communities, and the quaint rural towns for which New England is known.
With New Hampshire and Vermont on the northern border, New York to the west, and Connecticut and Rhode Island bordering on the south, Massachusetts is the most centrally located of the New England States. Cape Cod juts out into the Atlantic Ocean on the east like a bent arm, creating an easily recognizable state shape. A day trip to one of Massachusetts' beautiful beaches or islands is easily accessible from any part of the state, as is a trip to the Berkshires in the western part of the state.
For all of these reasons and more, it's easy to see why people are so proud to say they live in Massachusetts!
