Where in Boston is 45 Province Street?

Today, I received a call from a potential client asking me about 45 Province Street. The caller said he heard good reviews about the building and would like to find more information about these condos. The caller went on to say that when he was on the search portion of my blog he couldn’t find any 45 Province Street condos listed under “Midtown” or “Downtown Crossing”.

So here’s the scoop. When searching for 45 Province Street on this blog, you need to understand this: The sales representatives of 45 Province Street are required that their properties on MLS be listed as part of Beacon Hill, not under the neighborhoods of Midtown or Downtown Crossing. To confuse the situation even more, Boston has two multi-listing services, MLS and LINK. My blog uses MLS and some Boston real estate web sites use LINK. If you are on a real estate web site that uses LINK, the marketing team of 45 Province Street are required by LINK not to list the condos under the neighborhood of Beacon Hill but under the neighborhood of Midtown. Just the opposite of MLS.

If you are interested in viewing 45 Province Street condos, please give a call to my Beacon Hill office located on Charles Street at 617-720-5454, or if you think, 45 Province Street is located in Midtown, you can call me at my Midtown office located across from the Boston Common at 617-426-6616. Either way, I’ll make sure you can view these condos – the higher floors do have great views.

    I asked the sales rep last year about the Beacon Hill placement in MLS and she informed me that the zip code of 45 Province is technically in a Beacon Hill zip code. I’m happy to see they are paying attention to details but that area is not what I think of when I hear Beacon Hill.

  2. Comment by rich | 03/28/10 at 3:35 pm

    I think that 45 Province is a great building. It’s just not on Beacon Hill and the asking prices need to come down.

  3. Comment by Funny | 03/29/10 at 6:54 am

    Glenn,

    That’s still pushing it. Just because 02111 encompasses a small part of Beacon Hill, it doesn’t make 45P “Lower Beacon Hill”.

    If anything, going by the demographic data on the area code which pits it’s population as most Asian, it makes it China Town! LOL!

    Here’s a map, and unless it’s changed…

    The again, marketing is all about creating reality for thoes with no impulse to look things up and think for themselves. As long as they’re happy, ignorance, bliss et al.

  4. Comment by Cheryl Bliss Waxman-Sales Director of 45 Province | 03/29/10 at 6:56 am

    Just to clear up any confusion I am the sales director of 45 Province. Here is the deal. Link will not let me put our listing under Beacon Hill even thou we have a Beacon Hill zip code. They make me put it in midtown. MLS on the other hand makes me put it in Beacon BECAUSE of our zip code. Once again I have no choice. So just so we are clear, I am not confused where we are located. If anyone has any question about it you can contact me at the office at 617-742-0942
    Hope that clears that up.

    Cheryl, thanks for the update, it seems like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. For what its worth, I ‘m going to call MLS and LINK and see if there’s anyway the two can come to an agreement as to where 45P should be listed. This is just crazy.

    BTW I highlighted the listing requirements for LINK and MLS on the blog post.

    Please keep us posted on 45P sales. Thanks.

  6. Comment by CityMouse | 03/29/10 at 10:11 am

    The correct zip code for 45P is 02108, not 02111.

  7. Comment by John Ford | 03/29/10 at 12:16 pm

    CityMouse, I’m confused what’s your point? 45P is part of Beacon Hill or its not part of the Beacon Hill zip code?

  8. Comment by rich | 03/29/10 at 4:38 pm

    According to the USPS, 45P is in Zip code 02108:

    45 PROVINCE ST
    BOSTON MA 02108-4124

    City-data.com shows that 02108 includes Downtown Crossing, the Boston Common, and half of Beacon Hill. The rest of Beacon Hill is in Zip code is in Zip code 02114 along with the West End.

    Zip code 02111 is Chinatown. I’m not sure why anyone is talking about 02111.

  9. Comment by megan | 03/29/10 at 4:50 pm

    Is that the building with the 30 story blank wall? That’s considered Beacon Hill?

  10. Comment by jmmmm | 03/29/10 at 5:25 pm

    Province St as Beacon Hill? – never in the history of this town no matter what the post office says. Maybe “I can see Beacon Hill from my penthouse” or “off Bromfield st”. Pretty much the same as calling Symphony Road the Back Bay. Creative real estate agents! Would love to live at 45P BTW so am not knocking it. Great area but someone is doing cartwheels to call it Beacon Hill.

  11. Comment by John Ford | 03/30/10 at 12:59 am

    Megan, that’s the building. Back Bay and Beacon Hill both keep expanding.

  12. Comment by Josh | 03/30/10 at 2:40 pm

    To me, this is just another shady tactic which is why most people don’t trust realtors.
