"Downtown: Home Where The Heart Is" Self-Guided Home Tour

Downtown Boston has been the hub of revitalization for the past 10 years. Public & private investment totaling more than $3.2 billion has renovated theaters, refurbished hotels, and attracted dozens of new restaurants. Thousands of new residential units have been added in the past decade, increasing downtown's residential population by 23%. An additional 2,000 units are slated to open in the next five years.

Discover why 8,000 people now call downtown Boston home, and why thousands more can't wait to join them, during the Downtown Boston BID's inaugural "Downtown: Home Where The Heart Is" home tour. On Saturday, May 11th, from 11 am-3 pm, residents will open their doors to showcase the best of downtown living.
