Logan Airport is a short 10-minute ride away. South Station, which provides both commuter rail and Amtrak Service, is located just across the bridge from the Fort Point and Seaport Districts.

One of the greatest assets for South Boston, besides the beach, is the development of the West 4th Street Bridge. This bridge allows direct access to the Back Bay, Newbury Street and South End shopping and restaurants. This has provided South Boston with downtown style living while affording greater access to parking and the beaches at a better value than downtown.

The Seaport district, also known as the South Boston Waterfront is one of the most prized development areas in the country. This once thriving seaport that catered to the fishing industry is now home to the Boston Convention Center, Boston hotels such as the Seaport Hotel, the Westin Hotel as well as to a new luxury apartment development. Currently on the drawing boards awaiting approvals will be a proposed 9-city block mixed use development. Now under construction are 560-luxury condos as well as another plan for a 264 unit development.

Marine park, M St Park, and Moakley Park, are some of the many open spaces that this community has over the years worked to improve.
