The Roxbury Neighborhood of Boston is a diverse community that abuts the South End, Jamaica Plain and Dorchester.

Roxbury is a historic neighborhood in Boston that is right out side of the South End. There are many Brownstones and Victorians that feature tons of original detail and charm. In this video tour, I walk you through a foreclosed Three unit Brownstone that needs a lot of work, but still has many of its original details. If you are interested in purchasing a historic Boston home and are willing to do some work, this may be a great fit for you at only $184,900.
