When seeking out the best of the best in city living, it’s hard to beat (not to mention, afford) the ever- aspirational Louisburg Square. It’s a tiny area that claims its own neighborhood within a neighborhood status. Indeed, Louisburg Square is not just a top “neighborhood” in Boston but a top street in the country! Louisburg Square, tucked in the heart of storied Beacon Hill, is not just a top “neighborhood” in Boston but a top street in the country! The district’s elegant character is enhanced by some of the most stately homes in Boston, including legendary six-level single-family homes.

Louisburg Square posted $33.7M in volume across 5 transactions, with the average price per sqft landing at $1,736.

As is often the case, Louisburg Square’s statistics were shaped by one dominant transaction. With just five sales accounting for 11% of Beacon Hill’s total volume, the data reinforces a long-standing truth: Louisburg Square functions more like a private market than a traditional neighborhood, where annual results hinge on the rare moments when owners choose to transact. 

This year, 94 Mount Vernon St brought in nearly half of the area’s volume when it sold for $14,550,000.

Would you believe that before the homes on this land were selling for $10’s of millions of dollars, this was “pasture acreage” in colonial Boston? Louisburg Square’s residential history begins in 1826 when a partition deed laid out a plan in which a central park and adjacent streets would be owned by the founding neighbors, hereafter known as the Proprietors of Louisburg Square. This group of 28 home owners is referenced as one of the earliest examples of a homeowner’s association in the country.
