Direct answer
Updated September 15, 2026 · Reviewed by Mario Toscano
A defensible Tremont decision starts with Tremont Avenue retail corridors versus residential blocks toward Mount Hope and Belmont. Tremont Avenue frontage versus quiet side streets, and elevator condition in prewar stock, split Tremont pricing. Walk side streets and the avenue separately; Tremont buyers pay differently for the same square footage. Price Tremont co-ops against peer buildings on the same street tier, not Concourse Art Deco premiums.
