East Springfield
East Springfield is the city's working east flank, hemmed in by Page Boulevard, the rail lines, and a stubborn sense that nobody is moving here for the aesthetics. Triple-deckers, body shops, and the kind of corner spots that have been corner spots for forty years. Rents land among the most affordable in the city, which is the polite way of saying the market has priced in the realities of the neighborhood. The dating pool skews local, skews practical, and skews toward people who already know which Dunkin lot to meet in. Charm is not the pitch. Honesty about what a paycheck buys is.
