Roxbury, NY

Roxbury is a densely populated, ethnically and socioeconomically diverse community located in the heart of Boston. The population of Roxbury was 111,617 as of the 2010 census. Roxbury is home to some of Boston's most iconic neighborhoods including Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and South End. The real estate market in Roxbury is highly competitive with prices ranging from $200,000 to over $1 million.

The history of real estate in Roxbury can be traced back to the early 1800s when wealthy landowners began purchasing large tracts of land in the area for use as hunting grounds and estates. In 1835, Samuel Atherton purchased 640 acres near what is now Dudley Square for use as a farm and horse breeding facility. Atherton's land holdings would eventually grow to encompass more than 12 square miles making him one of the largest landowners in Boston at the time.

During the mid-1800s, many affluent families began moving into Roxbury due to its proximity to downtown Boston and its many amenities such as schools, churches, parks, and shopping districts. In 1875, Charles Eliot opened Eliot School which became one of Boston's most prestigious private schools. By 1900, Roxbury had become one of Boston's most populous neighborhoods with a population estimated at 30,000 residents.

The early 20th century saw a dramatic increase in development activity in Roxbury with new housing developments being constructed on formerly undeveloped parcels of land near Dudley Square and Mount Auburn Cemetery. This period also saw an influx of immigrants from Europe who were drawn to Roxbury's affordable housing prices and its many cultural attractions such as churches, restaurants, and stores.

Today there are still many affluent families living in Roxbury but the neighborhood has also seen an influx of low-income residents due to its high concentration poverty rates (more than 30% compared to 16% citywide). This has led to increased tensions between longtime residents who feel that their qualityof life is being threatened by increasing crime ratesand newcomers who are seeking opportunities that are not available elsewhere in Boston."
