"Big Views from Big Balconies"

Some of the most amazing condos and houses are on Back Street overlooking Storrow Drive and the Charles River. There are balconies here that make you look twice. A night under the stars in a hot tub on Back Street is a good night indeed. The views from here are incredible. You can see over the river to Cambridge and there's nice views of Back Bay. If you're a hard worker that also likes to live it up, then this a good location for you. Easy access via Storrow Drive and the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge to both Boston and Cambridge.
