Seatown vs. Beantown: A Tale of Two Cities
Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty’s vast network of real estate experts covers nearly every corner of the world, and our relationship with Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, our Seattle-based affiliate, is one of our strongest and most collaborative. Like Boston, the Seattle economy and real estate market are some of the strongest in the nation, while the quality of life and endless amount of attractions suit everyone’s needs year round. Amazon’s Seattle headquarters has deployed a gravitational force on the tech industry, drawing thousands of young tech workers to the city and, in turn, attracting more tech firms to take advantage of the enlarged talent pool. Boston has enticed an equally tech-savvy group of young healthcare professionals to the city’s top hospitals and medical institutions. Both melting pots of global talent, Boston and Seattle have fostered and nurtured a tech ecosystem, and new housing developments are proliferating throughout both cities to provide necessary living options for the influx of young professionals.
