Question

Which towns or cities are considered "south end" in boston?

Answer 1

there aren't any other cities or towns in the south end. it's just part of boston. as is dorchester, charlestown, roslindale, south boston etc.  

Answer 2

the South End is a very urban neighborhood that touches downtown and the rough neighborhood of Roxbury located within Boston, MA and is one of the 16 neighborhoods.

Answer 3

I mostly agree with Tom except that no way is Boylston st the border. I'd say the MASSPIKE would be the northern border to Huntington, then the rest I agree with.

Answer 4

The South End is  a few pricey, mostly g*y neighborhoods in Boston between Chinatown, Boylston Street, and the Mass Pike  

Answer 5

The south end is the section of Boston just south of backbay, west of downtown, that contains many brownstones and tree lined streets (and no T stops!!)

Since its still part of Boston proper I guess it would be easiest to explain the south end with some arbitrary and approximate borders.

I would put Boylston street as the northern border, Huntington Ave starting at Copley square as the western border,

Mass ave as the southern border, and I-93 as its eastern border.

The South End isn't to be confused with the terms south boston, southie, or the south shore, all which are different areas entirely.
