I'm moving to the hood in Mattapan.
When we bought, we were thinking: cheap. And it was. I mean, it was nicer than East Cambridge, which we also looked at, but it was still barely out of student land. Now (and there's also been gentrification going on, on my street and up and down adjacent side streets) the place is out of reach. Nearly every day, you can see a van or truck for something like siding, window replacement, gutter cleaning, painting, wood floor restoration or the like.
We had no idea we were buying into Hipville. Perhaps the same will happen in 'pan?
