Mattapan Real Estate
Mattapan was annexed to Boston in 1870 as part of Dorchester. Like other
neighborhoods of the time, Mattapan developed as the railroads and streetcars
made downtown Boston accessible. Predominately residential, Mattapan
is home to a mix of single homes (in South Mattapan and Wellington Hills
) as well as two and three family houses. Mattapan Square, where Blue
Hill Avenue, River Street, and Cummins Highway meet, is the commercial
heart of the neighborhood. A stop on the Red Line's Ashmont train, the
neighborhoods of Mattapan are conveniently connected to Boston. Mattapan
Square is one of Boston's oldest shopping areas and in recent years
the neighborhoods have experienced a promising growth in population.
The Franklin Field area, filled with two-family wood or brick units
and triple deckers, has been stabilized due to market improvement and
public housing investments.
