250 East Harbortown Drive, Apt 202

This one bedroom, one bath condo at Harbortown has those soft grey walls we love so much. It also has big windows, hardwood floors, and a location right next to the Riverfront. It’s convenient, move-in ready, and has amenities like garage parking, swimming pools, and fitness centers. It’s listing for $170,361, with HOA fees of $625 a month.

619 Pingree Street

This four-bedroom newer-build house between New Center and Boston-Edison might not have the character of an older home, but it is move-in ready.
