Bay Village is recognized as the smallest neighborhood of Boston. In fact, it is so small that it shares the same zip code as Back Bay. Here is the official web page for the neighborhood. The map below shows its borders and the area it encompasses.

As of 2010, its population was approximately 1,312 residents living in 837 housing units, most of which are small brick rowhouses. As such, you will not see any traditional free-standing, detached homes here.

These attached townhomes and condos have been running from $489,000 to $3,715,000. Multi-families do exist here and they have gone for $1,615,000 and $1,750,000. Rentals have run from $1,550 to $16,500. Understandably, prices for rentals and sales vary depending upon size, location, and amenities.
