Boston Globe to launch new real estate section

The Boston Globe on March 30 will launch a new, expanded broadsheet real estate section, dubbed Address, the newspaper announced Thursday.

A story on NetNewsCheck.com states, “The 12-page weekly section replaces the paper’s existing tabloid real estate section, with new features, writers, columns, photos and visual elements.

“The new section will broaden the paper’s real estate focus, covering topics and trends relevant to anyone with an address: whether buyers or renters, empty-nesters, second-home buyers or millennials renting their first apartment, the Globe said.

“Address will include new features and columns that center on the lifestyle, rather than the business, of real estate. One carryover from the old section will be ‘Home of the Week,’ a popular feature by Globe reporter John Ellement.

“Eileen Woods will be the editor of the new section. Woods, who has been with the Globe for 15 years, previously was a copy editor for the Boston Globe Magazine, where she wrote the ‘On the Block’ real estate column.”
