Beautiful views of Boston don’t have to cost millions
Plenty of listings in Boston brag about “views’’ without costing a fortune.
See the word “view’’ in a listing and you might automatically think of multi-million dollar penthouses. But don’t be so sure.
Last week The New York Times found listings with water views in New York City for $500,000 or less, which can be a rarity in the Big Apple.
Though the Times has to scour the five boroughs for its picks, a similar price point in Boston turns up plenty of listings with gorgeous views, whether they’re of water or the city’s classic skylines.
Here is a list of places you can grab in Boston for $600,000 or less where you get a view with your buck.
