Franklin Field North is a diverse and active neighborhood
Franklin Field North is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood in Boston’s Dorchester area. The area offers mostly condos and apartments inside historic Queen Anne and Colonial Revival homes or brick buildings. “The community is a mix in terms of age groups,” says Richard Phipps, founder of CFS Realty and Management and Consumer Financial Services, who has sold many homes in the area. “There might be young individuals with roommates or who have moved back in with extended family, to professionals working in tech.” Plus, the neighborhood is home to the sprawling Franklin Park, which hosts community events and has everything from sports fields to a zoo. The area’s location is a primary draw for residents, as it sits about 5 miles south of downtown Boston and about 4 miles from UMass Boston, attracting both working professionals and students.

Franklin Park, Boston’s largest, is in the neighborhood. The 527-acre outdoor space offers a mix of scenic spaces and entertainment areas. Hikers can walk through woodlands and past rocky cliffs, while high school athletes compete at the park’s White Stadium. The William J. Devine Golf Course – the second oldest in the nation – was established in 1912, and cultural festivals and community events are regularly held at the Elma Lewis Playhouse in the Park, which was named for a revered cultural icon in Boston. But the park’s crown jewel is the Franklin Park Zoo. At over 70 acres, the zoo’s array of animals has been attracting families since 1912. There are also many events in the park, from Juneteenth celebrations to summertime light shows.
Given the neighborhood’s proximity to Boston, all of the city’s many amenities are within close reach of residents here. From the vast collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts to Red Sox games at Fenway Park to the historic offerings of Faneuil Hall, most of the city’s famous offerings are within 6 miles of Franklin Park North.
