Mattapan, MA Real Estate

Mattapan is a neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Originally part of neighboring Dorchester, Mattapan was annexed to Boston in 1870. Like other neighborhoods of the time, Mattapan developed, residentially and commercially, as the railroads and streetcars made downtown Boston increasingly more accessible. Predominantly residential, Mattapan is a mix of public housing, small apartment buildings, single homes and two and three family houses. Blue Hill Avenue and Mattapan Square, where Blue Hill Avenue, River Street, and Cummins Highway meet, is the commercial heart of the neighborhood, home to banks, law offices, restaurants, and retail shops.

In the 1960s and '70s Mattapan went through a major change in the makeup of its population. It changed from a predominantly Jewish neighborhood to one that is almost entirely black. The years between 1968 and 1970 made up the most dramatic period of ethnic transition. According to Levine and Harmon in their book Death of an American Jewish Community, redlining the area, blockbusting, and fear in neighborhood residents created by real estate agents brought about panic selling and white flight. The banking consortium Boston Banks Urban Renewal Group (B-BURG) allegedly drove the Jewish community out of Mattapan and are claimed to bear partial responsibility for the deterioration of the neighborhood, especially along the Blue Hill Avenue corridor.
