East Boston Neighborhood Guide

🧭Generally defined as the area: across the harbor from downtown, bordered by Boston Harbor to the south and west, Chelsea Creek to the north, Suffolk Downs to the east, basically everything on the other side of the Sumner and Callahan tunnels

📌Well known for: Santarpio’s pizza, Logan flight paths, and waterfront views that finally got the attention they deserved.

👕You'll fit in if: you don't flinch when planes fly 200 feet overhead

👍Locals live here because: rent's still almost reasonable and the Colombian bakeries go hard

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: explaining to everyone you don't actually live near the airport even though you absolutely do

✨The general vibe is: scrappy waterfront with incoming gentrification anxiety
