On July 27, the Saint Joseph Society, a charitable organization based in Boston’s North End, put on the Historic Unity Celebration.  This event was intended to pay homage to the cultures and traditions of the many ethnic groups that have immigrated through Boston’s North End and are now such a strong part of the Boston community.

Although Boston’s largest present-day Chinese population resides in Chinatown, many Chinese entered Boston via the North End. The program featured multiple Chinese dance and musical performances, including a guest dance appearance by one of Shanghai’s most acclaimed dancers!  See more here: http://www.northendwaterfront.com/home/2011/8/3/chinese-music-and-dance-at-the-historic-unity-celebration-in.html

Another Happy CL Waterfront Properties Client!

Carmela Laurella, President of CL Waterfront Properties recently assisted a Boston Waterfront property owner with the sale of her home after she and her husband were dissatisfied with the original agency they signed with.  CL Waterfront was pleased to have received the following testimonial about our service:

“Carmela recently helped us sell our beautiful waterfront property in Boston.  We first signed up with another agency, but no serious offers, so after three months, we signed with Carmela.  What a difference!

She immediately found a lovely couple who wanted to buy the unit but needed to sell their home in CA.  Since it was the worst part of the recession and winter was beginning in Boston, we agreed thinking a sale was not likely for the condo.

When they were not able to buy it, Carmela put it back on the market and it sold within 2 weeks at 98% of the asking price.  She was able to generate numerous showings.  I think she is the ultimate professional.  I could not offer a higher recommendation for Carmela at CL Waterfront Properties.  She is the best.”

In the Boston real estate market, there is nothing more sought after and desired than a Waterfront property located in one of the historic Wharf buildings, which are made of brick, stone, and beams.

Some of these buildings you might know as “Lewis Wharf, Commercial Wharf, Union Wharf, Rowes Wharf or Battery Wharf.  When you hear the term “Law of Scarcity” or “They don’t build’em like that anymore” or “location, location, location”, think of these wonderful Wharf buildings on Boston’s Waterfront!

Boston’s Waterfront is truly unique, not only does a Waterfront home in one of these luxury Wharf buildings offer amazing views, but the buildings that occupy the existing frontage are built with granite, hand hewed beams, and Boston brick by talented artisans of a by- gone era using the best possible craftsmanship.

The Waterfront Wharf buildings majestically extend like fingers out into Boston’s saltwater harbor, and are even more unique than the Waterfront on which they located.  These Wharf buildings have Boston’s rugged, distinctive and yet refined old-world appeal.  Many of these buildings are nearly two hundred years old and have been recently renovated bringing them into the 21st century with every modern amenity.

When considering the purchase of a home in Boston, one must also consider that in this marketplace the uniqueness of the Boston’s Waterfront Wharf buildings make for an excellent choice because they hold and provide the best value for resale.  These magnificent buildings become only more desirable and valuable as they age.  Contact CL Waterfront Properties LLC today for help buying your next luxury waterfront home.

Real estate tends to run inverse to both interest rates and availability of credit.

With today’s mortgage rates at historic lows and following a correction of historical magnitude, at this point in time, I would suggest that real estate represents a fair value.

Time & Money Balance

I would further suggest that with both mortgage rates and prices down, that investing in a new home is as affordable as it’s ever been in the U.S.

One final thought would be that the primary footpath of Boston’s Waterfront is basically built.  They won’t be making any more and there is scarcity value in that alone…

CL Waterfront Properties has the market expertise to help you find the perfect new luxury home in Boston; whether you want to live in one of the full service Boston Waterfront buildings, or a luxury home in Back Bay or Bay Village, we can help find a home to fit your lifestyle.

The Enjoyment and Convenience of Waterfront Living

North End BostonPerhaps you’re an empty-nester or just looking to make life a little easier by downsizing.  If so, then this is a great time to seize the moment and make the move to the North End/Waterfront, since interest rates are still at an all time low and the prices for condos are still lower. When choosing a location within the city, you will undoubtedly consider what makes a neighborhood most attractive.

Residing within walking distance of some of the city’s finest restaurants, theaters, sailing centers, universities and hospitals makes the Waterfront so very attractive.  Try taking cooking classes at a North End restaurant or a sailing class at the Boston Sailing Center.  The North Bennet Street School located in North End has been teaching craftsmanship for 125 years.  The school offers classes in Woodworking, Jewelry, Calligraphy, and Bookbinding just to mention a few.

Perhaps take a stroll over to Charlestown to visit the U.S.S. Constitution or Bunker Hill Monument.  Perhaps take a harbor walk along the Waterfront on a glorious day by stepping out your front door.

Glide to a Celtics or Bruins game and amble home in a matter of minutes.  There’s more enjoyment and gratification in entertaining your family and friends when all these sites can be visited without the use of an automobile. Boston’s Waterfront offers all this and much, much more.
