The Residences at Rowes Wharf stand as one of Boston’s most prestigious addresses, set directly on the waterfront and seamlessly integrated with the five-star Boston Harbor Hotel. Completed in the mid-1980s as part of a transformative redevelopment of the waterfront, this collection of private condominiums combines timeless architecture, unmatched harbor views, and the convenience of luxury hotel services.
The domed Rowes Wharf archway is one of the city’s most photographed landmarks, symbolizing both Boston’s maritime history and its modern reinvention. Behind that landmark sits a thoughtfully planned residential community, where homeowners enjoy the privacy of a condominium lifestyle alongside the conveniences of a world-class hotel.
Its location on Atlantic Avenue places residents at the crossroads of the Financial District, Seaport, North End, and Faneuil Hall, with immediate access to the Harborwalk, marina, and ferry terminals.
Rowes Wharf is home to 1- to 3-bedroom residences and a selection of exclusive penthouses, each designed with open layouts and abundant natural light. Many homes showcase sweeping panoramas of Boston Harbor, the city skyline, or both, depending on orientation. Private balconies and terraces in select residences provide rare outdoor space directly on the water.
Interiors vary by unit, as many homes have been customized over time, but common features include hardwood flooring, oversized windows, marble baths, and kitchens outfitted with high-end appliances and bespoke cabinetry. The variety of layouts, ranging from intimate pied-à-terres to expansive multi-bedroom homes, makes Rowes Wharf suitable for a broad range of buyers.
Perhaps most importantly, each residence benefits from a sense of permanence and exclusivity. With relatively few units compared to newer high-rises, opportunities to purchase at Rowes Wharf are rare, and homes are prized for their enduring value as true waterfront property.
