With plenty of office space, relatively affordable rent, accessible public transportation, and views of the Boston Harbor, Charlestown has a lot going for it as it recruits new tenant companies. Currently, four small companies are considering relocation to Charlestown, and recent move-ins include Dimagi, an international health care consulting start-up and Cogito Health Inc., a software company. Among reasons for choosing Charlestown, Cogito sites easy parking, the nearby Sullivan Square Orange Line MBTA station and a bus line to MIT, as well as low price compared to Longwood and South Boston.
