Waterfront Living at one of Boston’s Most Unique Addresses

Situated within the historic Charlestown Navy Yard on Pier 7, 65 Constellation Wharf isn’t your typical waterfront property. From 1800-1974 the Charlestown Navy Yard supported the United States Navy, was a hub for innovation and a home to Navy officers, sailors and Marines. Now a historic site, the heart of the original Navy Yard is open to visitors year-round. As a reminder of what the Navy Yard once was, the neighbors of Constellation Wharf include the USS Constitution, “Old Ironsides,” the oldest and most storied warship in the U.S. Navy, and the USS Cassin Young. The waterfront location and deep-rooted connection to American history make Constellation Wharf one of Boston’s most unique addresses. The Neighborhood Located on the waterfront with incredible views of the downtown Boston skyline, Constellation Wharf also enjoys close proximity to downtown Charlestown and the gas light district, one of the oldest parts of the city. Between the Navy Yard and Charlestown, there’s plenty to eat, see and do within this historic neighborhood. We’ve chosen some highlights to explore.
