The Waterfront borders the North End neighborhood where our city’s history began. One of the most recognized landmarks in Boston, is the Rowes Wharf building. Famous for its large arch that opens to the marina, this complex is home to many restaurants, shops, townhomes, offices, and the Boston Harbor Hotel. Also located in the Waterfront neighborhood are the Boston Children's Museum, the Boston Aquarium, and the Boston Tea Party museum. Many of Boston's land and sea tours originate in the Waterfront area, close to the Boston Aquarium.

In 1976 Boston's Waterfront Park opened, creating a green space that acted as an extension of Quincy Market to the Waterfront. This park spurred more renewal initiatives in the area and ever since, the Waterfront has thrived in both commercial and residential development.  Since the completion of the “Big Dig” the Rose Kennedy Greenway runs next to the Waterfront neighborhood, Faneuil Hall and the North End. It is an ideal location for people who want to be able to commute to work in the financial district. An extremely attractive, expensive and most desirable area.
