Sav-Mor is conveniently located in a residential pocket of Roxbury
Sav-Mor is a residential slice of Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, a community that dates back to the 1600s. Life here moves at a slower pace than the hectic beat of Downtown Boston, which is easily accessible thanks to MBTA buses and a nearby commuter rail station. While homes often sell at prices below the citywide median, buyers don’t have to trade city conveniences for the lower cost. A few eclectic dining spots and neighborhood bars are within walking distance, and Franklin Park, the southernmost link in the Emerald Necklace of green spaces that adorns the city, is less than a mile away.
The Sav-Mor neighborhood is about 3 miles south of Downtown Boston.
The Franklin Park Zoo is a short distance from Sav-Mor.

Commuting to Boston and Cambridge by train, car or bus
Sav-Mor is about 3 miles from Downtown Boston, and commuters to Cambridge have a 5-mile trip. While you’ll have an easier time finding a parking spot here than in downtown neighborhoods, driving in Boston is often more trouble than it’s worth. If you do opt to drive, Interstate 93 is about a mile away and provides direct access to the city. Public transit is a convenient option, too. Several MBTA bus routes stop along Warren Street and Blue Hill Avenue, and the nearby Uphams Corner station is served by the Fairmount Line, which links South Station to Readville.

One local elementary school option is Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School, an in-district charter that offers established pathways to area schools like Dearborn STEM Academy. Boston Latin Academy, a public high school that receives a Niche grade of A, is also close by.

A brief look at neighborhoods in nearby Dorchester
If you’d like to expand your search to include Dorchester neighborhoods, there are a few with lower median home sale prices. Ashmont has a charming village center and good public transit access, while Fields Corner West offers a diverse dining scene and access to chain retailers. Savin Hill curls along Dorchester Bay, with beaches and waterfront parks. All three are a bit farther from Downtown Boston, but their Red Line connections can make commuting into the city fairly straightforward.
