Listed by Joselin Malkhasian• Lamacchia Realty, Inc.
Telegraph Hill, located between the North End and Charlestown, is a historic and waterfront Boston neighborhood with brick rowhouses and harbor overlooks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Freedom Trail corridor by the Charlestown Navy Yard gates, where coffee counters, small galleries, and harborfront promenades set a steady, walk-and-watch-the-water rhythm. The USS Constitution Museum and the USS Constitution anchor local culture with maritime history on full display. Bunker Hill Monument adds a granite landmark presence above tight streets and pocket parks. Architecture leans Federal-era brick, converted industrial buildings, and modern waterfront residences. Paths along the Harborwalk frame ferries, sailboats, and skyline views.
