How much space can half a mil actually buy you, without having to truck it everyday to the suburbs? Well, we know that living in the city has its costs, and the **[South End](https://charlesgaterealty.com/boston-neighborhoods/south-end/)** is one of Boston’s finest neighborhoods to boot, but the benefits are certainly worth their while. I pulled the condo listings in the South End priced at or very close to $500,000. Take a look for yourself to see if any of these South End condos catch your eye. If so, you will definitely be getting plenty of bang for your buck. If you don’t see anything that blows your dress up, then check out this week’s Boston Condo **[Smart Buys](https://charlesgaterealty.com/properties/boston-homes-best-values/)** or [**all the  listings the South End has to offer**](https://charlesgaterealty.com/idx/community/south-end/?idx-q-PropertyTypes%3C0%3E=163&idx-q-PropertyTypes%3C1%3E=162&idx-q-PropertyTypes%3C2%3E=157).
