Welcome to South Boston, affectionately known as "Southie," where historic charm meets city living. This waterfront neighborhood, situated along Dorchester Bay, combines coastal amenities with urban convenience. Current rental trends show diverse options, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $3,113, while two-bedrooms command approximately $3,803 monthly.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
