Architectural Digest says the South End is one of the coolest neighborhoods in America

Architectural Digest looked at living, dining, and entertainment expenses in some of America’s most trendy neighborhoods. To nobody’s surprise, Boston’s South End neighborhood was ranked as one of the most expensive in the country. Below, I’ve included a list of the ten most expensive “cool” neighborhoods to go out, according to the article. I suppose what surprised me the most was seeing the West Loop (Chicago) coming in as the third most expensive.

According to Amanda Lutz, the Architectural Digest journalist who wrote the article, “We assumed the resident would be attending an entertainment venue once a week, an art venue once a week, dining out and buying coffee five times a week, and enjoying a cocktail twice per week.”
