Neighborhood Overview

Boston is a serene, historic community in Georgetown, rich with legacy as one of Scott County’s original African American villages. The neighborhood is known for its century-old houses, many featuring historic Victorian design elements like pitched roofs and wrap-around porches. It is a tight-knit area with a strong community feel, exemplified by local spots like the Ed Davis Learning Center and Davis Park.

Walkability: Residents enjoy walking access to downtown’s shops, restaurants, and historic buildings.

Housing Market Snapshot

The market here is hyper-competitive because the homes represent true value and character that you just can't find in new developments.

Average Price Point (Estimated): Expect to find homes here with a median sale price around $250,000. Note: This is an estimated neighborhood median and is substantially lower than Georgetown's overall city-wide median sale price of $350K.
Average Days on Market (DOM) (Estimated): Homes in this category are moving fast, selling on average after only 16 days on the market, compared to the national average of 52 days.
HOA Dues: Likely Low or No Dues. This is an established, historic neighborhood. The lack of restrictive or high HOA fees is a significant financial benefit that protects community standards without draining cash-flow.

Scott County School Zoning

Elementary: Likely zoned for Garth Elementary School (K-5).
Middle School: Likely zoned for Scott County Middle School (6-8).
High School: Likely zoned for Great Crossing High School or Scott County High School (9-12).
