Immersed in the heart of Boston's Little Italy
St. Leonard's Community Center is nestled in the North End, Boston's oldest residential neighborhood and a haven for Italian-American culture. This vibrant area is characterized by its narrow, winding streets lined with brick buildings, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a European village.
The culinary scene is the neighborhood's main draw, with an abundance of authentic Italian eateries, cafes, and bakeries. Hanover Street, just a short walk away, is the epicenter of this gastronomic paradise. Residents can indulge in everything from classic chicken parmigiana subs at Dino's to fresh bread at Bricco. For a quick bite, Pauli's offers affordable subs and wraps, while Ernesto's Pizza serves up some of the best slices in town. Those with a sweet tooth can debate whether to get their cannoli fix from Mike's Pastry, Parziale's, or the 24-hour Bova's Bakery.
Beyond Italian cuisine, the neighborhood offers diverse dining options. Tenoch Mexican provides a change of pace with traditional Mexican fare, while Saus Boston is popular for its fries and extensive sauce selection. For those seeking healthier options, B.GOOD offers health-conscious versions of fast-food favorites.
The North End is not just about food; it's steeped in history. The Paul Revere Mall, featuring a statue of the Revolutionary hero with the Old North Church as a backdrop, is a short stroll away. The neighborhood is rich with historical sites that attract visitors from around the world.
Green spaces abound, providing respite from the urban environment. The Rose Kennedy Greenway, which starts in the North End, offers open areas, fountains, and art installations. Nearby, Cutillo Park and Polcari Park provide additional outdoor recreational spaces, with the latter featuring basketball courts.
For everyday needs, residents have easy access to various shops and services. The Golden Goose Market, a neighborhood grocer, is just around the corner, offering gourmet cheeses, fresh-carved meats, and other specialty items. For larger shopping trips, Whole Foods Market and Star Market are within walking distance.
The neighborhood comes alive during the summer months with cultural festivals, most notably Saint Anthony's Feast, the largest Italian Religious Festival in New England. These events, featuring parades, music, and street food, embody the area's rich cultural heritage and community spirit.
Unparalleled connectivity in a walkable urban setting
St. Leonard's Community Center benefits from its prime location in one of Boston's most accessible neighborhoods. The North End's compact nature and central location make it an ideal area for those who prefer to navigate the city on foot. Nearly all daily necessities, from groceries to entertainment, are within a comfortable walking distance.
For those venturing beyond the neighborhood, public transportation options are plentiful. The Haymarket Station, serving the Green and Orange Lines of the T (Boston's subway system), is just a five-minute walk away. This hub provides quick access to downtown Boston, Back Bay, and connections to other parts of the city and surrounding areas.
Bus service is equally convenient, with several stops within a quarter-mile radius of the building. The Surface Road & Hanover Street stop, a mere five-minute walk, is served by multiple bus lines connecting to various parts of Boston and neighboring communities. These include routes to Central Square, Lynn, Clarendon Hill, and Sullivan Square Station.
For those preferring to travel by water, the ferry to Hingham and Hull is available near the Boston Marriott Long Wharf hotel, providing a scenic alternative for commuters and day-trippers alike.
Cyclists will appreciate the area's bike-friendly infrastructure, with dedicated lanes and the Hubway bike-sharing system available throughout the neighborhood.
While the North End's walkability often negates the need for a car, residents who do own vehicles will find the building's on-site garage parking a valuable amenity in a neighborhood known for its limited parking options. The neighborhood's central location provides convenient access to major thoroughfares for longer trips.
Air travelers will appreciate the proximity to Logan International Airport, just a 10-minute drive or a short T ride away, making both domestic and international travel highly convenient.
This combination of walkability, public transit options, and strategic location makes St. Leonard's Community Center an ideal base for those who value easy movement throughout the city, whether for work or leisure.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
