the boundaries of the modern neighborhood of fort point are somewhat ill-defined. at its broadest extent, it includes the land a few blocks on either side of the fort point channel (which due to landfill is considerably smaller than it was in colonial times). the fort point artists' community is located on the opposite side of the channel. this is also called the south boston waterfront or the seaport district. real estate listings include "fort point" locations east of the channel and west of the boston convention and exhibition center and the boston world trade center. (further south is south boston proper.) the boston redevelopment authority defines the fort point district within the neighborhood of south boston as "an area of approximately defined by the fort point channel to the west, summer street to the north, the bypass road to the east, and west 2nd street to the south."
