The hottest part of the Boston RE market over the past two years has
been the lower part of South Boston, which is directly underneath the
departure path of Logan 3-5 days out of the week. When I lived there I
once had a BA 747 climbing out real slow shake the walls so bad a
painting fell off. If you were on the phone (indoors) you had to stop
when one of the heavies (or an old turbojet 737) passed over. During
pushes they'd come every 90 seconds for an hour or more. In the past 10
years a 1-family has roughly tripled in value to over 800k. Condos
average 380-600 and go up to 1.5mil. Airplane noise my ass. I live next
to Logan now and get less noise than I did in Southie.
