Boston Neighborhoods /Boston Properties:

Back Bay

Considered one of Bostons most luxurious neighborhoods, the Back Bay was born in the 19th century when the city filled in 500 acres of shoreline. Modeled after 1870’s Paris, the neighborhood’s mix of Victorian architecture and French Second Empire accents highlights the Back Bay with unique grandeur. Nestled between the Charles River, the Public Garden and Newbury Street, the Back Bay offers the comfort and convenience of urban living while sun-splashed living rooms and long vistas of its tree-lined streets provide a sense of calm and tranquility.

Beacon Hill

Boston’s first prominent address for the urban gentry, the spirit of Charles Bullfinch still pervades the only surviving hill of the original Trimountain. The elegance of Beacon Hill resides in its Puritan restraint and Brahmin reserve. Stately Federal-style townhouses graced with delicate ironwork hug tree-lined streets with red-brick sidewalks under gaslit lamps and cobble-stone alleyways. Charles Street offers delicacies of cozy eateries and a diversity of funky shops within the refined ambience of a 19th century thoroughfare.

Fenway

Often overshadowed by the bright lights of nearby Fenway Park and Boston’s other districts, the Fenway prides itself with being one the city’s best kept secrets. With a neighborhood vibe and a short walk away from the Longwood Medical Area and cultural attractions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Symphony Hall, and local hang-outs such as The Back Bay Fens and The Linwood Grille, the Fenway remains a fine choice for those seeking more affordable alternatives.

The Leather District

Sandwiched between the financial district and waterfront, the Leather District harkens back to 19th century industrial Boston when the area was home to the leather trade. Behind Romanesque facades and large windows dwell common areas full of carved ornamentation and ultra-modern residential lofts. With trendy restaurants nearby and easy access to new cultural attractions such as the Institute of Contemporary Art and the New Center for Arts and Culture, the district attracts those desiring cutting-edge urban loft living.

North End

Boston’s oldest neighborhood was the first stop for generations of immigrants before becoming an Italian enclave at the turn of the century. This same spirit floats through the sounds and aromas of local cafes, pasticcerias and trattorias. And the past lives through the neighborhood’s signature street fairs and festive celebrations.

The North End blends fine examples of colonial architecture such as The Paul Revere House and The Old North Church with modern condominiums and rooftop gardens. With downtown and the waterfront minutes away, many newcomers have been seduced by the area’s charms, but the North End remains a thriving ethnic neighborhood.
