Listings updated on September 15, 2015.
Boston Globe Magazine just released its list of “The Best Streets in Greater Boston,’’ with streets from Back Bay to South Boston to Weymouth making the cut. Globe Magazine based its rankings on input from the Massachusetts Association of Realtors and things like “curb appeal and proximity to amenities like playgrounds and restaurants.’’
But if you want to buy a property on one of the Globe’s best streets, options are few and far between. They also come in a diverse range of prices.
We’ve collected listings on the Boston area’s best streets, which include a Marblehead penthouse for under $250,000, a $1.5 million Back Bay condo, and a vast estate in Manchester-by-the-Sea for almost $7 million.

We were able to find a beautiful property right off of the highly desirable Masconomo Street.
