There's a certain point in every older home's life where patching things up stops making sense. A fresh coat of paint can only do so much when the bones of a house are telling a different story. For many Boston homeowners — especially those dealing with century-old triple-deckers, brownstones, and multi-family properties — that point comes sooner than expected.

If you're planning to sell your Boston home, you've probably already asked yourself the question every seller eventually lands on: should I renovate before I list, and if so, what's actually worth doing? It's a reasonable question, and the honest answer is: it depends — but the data points pretty clearly in one direction.

Owning rental property in Boston can be a great investment — but managing it day-to-day is a different job entirely. Between maintenance requests, tenant communication, seasonal upkeep, and staying compliant with city regulations, many landlords reach a point where handling it all alone isn't sustainable. If you're considering hiring a property management company, here's what actually matters when evaluating your...]]></description><link>https://www.tarhillcorp.com/post/what-boston-landlords-should-look-for-in-a-property-management-company</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4275763c06bdad5426621c</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:42:14 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/397d99_63c4eabe1ee74332b378850915b9868c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_690,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>TarHillCorp</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Complete Guide to Building an ADU in Boston]]></title><description><![CDATA[What homeowners need to know about accessory dwelling units in Boston — rules, costs, and where to start. If you've been hearing the term "ADU" more often lately, there's a reason. Massachusetts passed the Affordable Homes Act in 2024, opening the door to accessory dwelling units across the state, and interest in Greater Boston has grown quickly ever since.

Walk down almost any street in Dorchester, the South End, or Roxbury and you'll see them: the stacked porches and bay windows of a classic triple-decker, or the dignified brick facade of a Boston brownstone. These two housing types are part of the city's identity. They're sturdy, full of character, and often more spacious than they first appear from the street.

Triple-deckers — sometimes called three-deckers — are one of the most common, and most misunderstood, types of housing in Boston. Most were built between the 1880s and 1930s to house workers at neighborhood scale, and they've held up remarkably well considering their age.
