For the price of a house in some areas you too can have an outdoor, uncovered parking spot in an alley in Boston...now don't all rush to pull out your check books.
Amazing and just a few blocks down the street from me. I'll have to take a second look when I walk past to see if it is paved with gold.


$300,000 price sets record - for parking

Housing prices may be down, but the cost of a coveted parking space is up. Way up.
An unidentified buyer yesterday paid $300,000 for a private parking space in the Back Bay, making it the most expensive parking space in Boston, according to Listing Information Network, which tracks the city's real estate market.

The $300,000 space came with few amenities other than the prime location; it is outdoors and uncovered.

The previous record for an open-air parking space was set in 2006, when a buyer paid $250,000 for a space behind 31-33 Commonwealth Ave.
