The Town of South End Boston Massachusetts

The South End is a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It lies south of the Back Bay, northwest of South Boston, northeast of Roxbury, north of Dorchester and southwest of Bay Village. In spite of its name, it is not directly south of the center of downtown Boston. The neighborhood is built on a former tidal marsh, with fill brought in by trains from large trenches of gravel excavated in Needham, Massachusetts.

The primary business thoroughfares of the South End are Tremont and Washington Streets, from West Newton Street to Berkeley Street. Washington Street, the original causeway that connected Roxbury to Boston, experienced considerable reinvestment during the 1990s. The Boston Redevelopment Authority identifies several subdistricts covering the southeast portion of the neighborhood: SOWA, New York Streets, Back Streets and the Medical area.

The South End is built mostly of mid-19th century bowfronts. These aesthetically uniform rows of five-story, predominantly red-brick structures, are of mixed residential and commercial uses. Row houses built during the last quarter of the 19th century, especially along the present Southwest Corridor Park, show the influence of Charles Eastlake. Today, the South End is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Boston Landmark District. The South End is home to the Boston Ballet, the Boston Center for the Arts (BCA) and the Boston Medical Center.

The Who - J. Butler Property Management (JBPM), LLC. is a family owned and operated Massachusetts based property management company specializing in the five areas of property management described above. JBPM evolved from its parent company, Andover Building & Development Corporation, the first in the family of companies to be focused primarily on designing and constructing luxury residential homes in Andover, Massachusetts.

Over the years, as we have continued to build luxury homes, we have gradually been acquiring properties built by others.

Now with more than 400 diverse properties under management in our small property division including apartment buildings, condominium complexes and commercial properties, we are proud to be one of the premier property management companies serving the Boston area.

Whether it happens to be your primary residence or 50-unit apartment building, we all form attachments and care deeply about the property we own. At JBPM we understand this and make a special effort to extend ourselves, to treat each and every property “as if it were our own.” Our combination of old-school family values, integrity, honesty and hard work, together with our cutting edge technology, enables us to provide you with an unparalleled level of service.
