Welcome to Charlestown—Boston’s oldest neighborhood and arguably one of its best-kept secrets. At Remmes & Co. Real Estate, we’ve helped buyers find their place all across the city, but time and again, Charlestown stands out for those seeking a community that blends rich history, modern living, and a small-town vibe—all within arm’s reach of downtown Boston.
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or someone looking for a lifestyle change, Charlestown is the kind of neighborhood that speaks to those who want more than just an address—they want a story. And Charlestown has centuries of them.

A Neighborhood Rooted in History—and Moving Forward
Charlestown was founded in 1628, making it older than the city of Boston itself. It's where Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride passed through, and where the Battle of Bunker Hill was fought. The iconic Bunker Hill Monument still towers over the neighborhood, serving as a daily reminder that you’re walking through living history.
But don’t let the cobblestone streets and historic row houses fool you—Charlestown has evolved into one of the most desirable, dynamic enclaves in Greater Boston. It’s where 18th-century charm meets 21st-century amenities.
Real Estate That Balances Character and Modern Comfort
Charlestown offers a rare mix of housing options that blend character with convenience. Think exposed brick, wide-plank floors, and original moldings paired with chef’s kitchens, radiant heat, and smart-home systems. Whether you're looking for a historic single-family on a gas-lit street, a loft-style condo in a converted warehouse, or a waterfront townhouse with skyline views—Charlestown delivers.
At Remmes & Co., we’ve guided clients through seamless transactions in properties ranging from restored 19th-century brownstones to sleek new developments near the Navy Yard. Inventory tends to move quickly here—and for good reason. It’s an investment in lifestyle, location, and long-term value.
The Navy Yard: Waterfront Living, Elevated
If you're seeking serenity by the water without leaving the city, the Charlestown Navy Yard should be on your radar. This master-planned community offers luxury condos, marina access, green spaces, and breathtaking views of the Boston skyline and Harbor.
Imagine mornings along the Harborwalk, ferry rides into downtown, and evenings dining al fresco by the water. It’s Boston living, but with more space, more peace, and none of the compromise.
Community with Character
One of the most compelling reasons to move to Charlestown? The people. This is a tight-knit community where neighbors know each other’s names and local businesses feel like family. You’ll find young professionals, growing families, lifelong residents, and newcomers alike—all drawn to the neighborhood’s unique mix of energy and warmth.
Main Street is dotted with independent shops, cozy cafes, and top-rated restaurants like Monument, Warren Tavern (a favorite since 1780!), and Prima for elevated Italian fare. There's a strong civic pride here, and community events like the Bunker Hill Day Parade and Charlestown Open Studios keep the spirit alive year-round.
Easy Access to Everything
Charlestown’s location is a commuter’s dream. It’s just across the bridge from the North End and downtown, with easy access to I-93, Storrow Drive, and public transit including the Orange Line and ferry service. For those working in Cambridge or the Seaport, you're under 20 minutes door-to-door.
And yet, once you're home in Charlestown, it feels like a world apart—peaceful, picturesque, and community-centered.
A Smart Investment in Boston's Future
Charlestown isn’t just a great place to live—it’s a smart place to invest. Demand remains high, turnover is low, and appreciation has been strong. With continued interest in walkable, historic, and transit-accessible neighborhoods, Charlestown checks every box for long-term value.
At Remmes & Co., we stay closely attuned to market shifts and pricing trends, ensuring our clients are well-positioned whether they’re buying, selling, or holding.
