$749,000 is not quite enough to put you in the “luxury’’ tier of Boston buyers, but it is enough to give you an amazing range of options.

In Boston or Cambridge, $749,000 might get you a two-bedroom apartment, but in suburbs like Lexington or Hingham, this amount could get you a four-bedroom home on multiple acres.

Check out a few of the listings in and around Boston listed at $749,000, starting with an awesome penthouse in Beacon Hill. All listings are active as of July 22, 2015.
