Why Live in Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill in Boston is a historic neighborhood known for its Federalist-era rowhomes, brick walkways, and copper lampposts. Located about a mile north of downtown Boston, it is a walker’s paradise with mature trees and elegant brownstones. The neighborhood features well-preserved Greek Revival and Federal-style brick rowhouses, many with wrought-iron balconies, ornate doorways, and private gardens or rooftop decks. Acorn Street, a narrow cobblestone pathway lined with stately row houses and hanging ivy, is one of the most photographed streets in the country. Homes date back to the early 1800s and have been updated with modern amenities. Beacon Hill is safer than the national average. Residents are close to the Boston Common, the oldest public park in the country, which offers a playground, tennis courts, a softball field, and the Boston Common Frog Pond. The Charles River Esplanade provides a scenic 17-mile loop for walking, running, and biking, with docks and watercraft rentals available. The neighborhood is home to several museums, including the Museum of African American History and the Nichols House Museum. Charles Street features colorful storefronts, antique shops, cafés, and dining options like Toscano and 75 Chestnut. The Tip Tap Room is a popular spot for beer and unique dishes, and Cheers Boston is a lively pub and tourist attraction. Beacon Hill has several private elementary schools, including the highly-rated Park Street School. Public transportation is convenient, with several subway stations and local bus service, and residents are about 4 miles from Boston Logan International Airport.
