Exciting Developments Changing Boston’s South Shore Real Estate Scene
Boston’s South Shore is buzzing with activity as significant multifamily developments and residential listings reshape the local real estate landscape. A mix of ongoing projects and rising home prices is feeding a growing interest in this area, drawing both investors and future residents alike.
Spotlight on Hall Street Flats
In the heart of Old East Dallas, Abington Properties is making headlines with the sale of Hall Street Flats, a sprawling 340-unit multifamily property located at 1800 North Hall Street. Currently, this property boasts an impressive 94% occupancy rate — no small feat in today’s housing market! It was constructed in 2016 by Mill Creek Residential, a notable Dallas-based builder.
Abington Properties originally acquired Hall Street Flats in 2020, financing the purchase with a hefty $34 million mortgage. Fast forward to now, and the appraised value of this property has skyrocketed from $52.8 million in 2019 to a staggering $74 million in 2024. A key reason for this surge is the impressive neighborhood, featuring a median household income of nearly $100,000 within a one-mile radius.
Market Trends in Dallas-Fort Worth
The Dallas-Fort Worth market has seen a whirlwind of activity lately, with nearly 40,000 new apartment units delivered in 2023. However, the rental landscape isn’t all sunshine. With vacancy rates hovering around 11%, the highest level in 20 years, rental prices have come under pressure. Industry experts believe that stabilization of rent growth is on the horizon, as the market clears out some of the backlog of apartments.
