seaport is a fantastic place to live if you can afford it! seaport has lots of restaurants, near-weekly activities planned by the neighborhood committee of Seaport (some exclusively for residents), museums, and the harbor walk is beautiful at any time of day. it comes down to what you value in an area. my wife is an example - she lived in other nice modern apartments in diff greater boston areas but the most important thing to her was having a well-managed apartment, a concierge/manned front desk for packages/deliveries, and her gym nearby. seaport checked all the boxes.

you can argue character, charm, soul, etc. but at the end of the day it comes down to what you want. very obviously this neighborhood doesn’t suck or else people wouldn’t keep coming to it.
