Waterfront promenade at dusk

I have lived in Harbor Point for eleven years and rowed on the bay for most of them. Here is the neighborhood as locals know it.

Mornings

Start at Pier Nine Bakery before 7am to beat the line, then walk the promenade to the lighthouse. On clear days you can see the ridge in Bayview Terrace.

Getting around

The ferry downtown takes twelve minutes and is the most civilized commute in the city. The Blue Line covers everything else.

Where to live

Towers along Pier Street offer views and full service; the converted warehouses near Ferry Wharf offer character and space.
