Why Live in Back Bay

Back Bay, located in the heart of Boston, is a historic neighborhood known for its iconic Victorian-era brownstones and picturesque 19th-century architecture. Situated along the south shore of the Charles River, it offers a peaceful retreat with expansive green spaces like the Back Bay Fens, Public Garden, and Boston Common. The neighborhood is highly accessible, with proximity to several T stations and universities such as Northeastern University and Boston University. Back Bay is a premier shopping and dining district, featuring destinations like the Prudential Center, Copley Place, and the famous Newbury and Boylston streets. Local dining options include Saltie Girl, Joe’s on Newbury, and Abe & Louie's, while everyday needs can be met at nearby Star Market and Trader Joe’s. The area is also home to the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, a 32-acre walkway, and the Charles River Esplanade, which offers peaceful river views and a playground. Back Bay Station provides access to Amtrak and the Orange Line, and Interstate 90 offers a quick route to Boston Logan International Airport, 7.5 miles away. Seasonal events such as CraftBoston and the Boston Book Festival, along with concerts at the Hatch Shell, add to the neighborhood's vibrant atmosphere.
