The historic character of Charlestown is evident immediately from the core architecture in and around Bunker Hill Monument leading to The Charlestown Navy Yard. Along the Charles River, East Cambridge, including NorthPoint, has undergone major changes in land use which have transformed large manufacturing and industrial areas into residential, commercial and retail developments with a vibrant business and commercial center.

Across from Boston's North End, on historic Main Street, Otis & Ahearn’s Charlestown office provides specialized real estate sales and marketing services for Charlestown, East Cambridge and select Boston Neighborhoods in addition to Urban Suburban and Suburban locations.
