Shops, restaurants and parks on the green line in Winter Hill
Winter Hill is an artsy residential community just north of Downtown Boston. The neighborhood was named after the 120-foot hill that overlooks the area and once held a military fort that played a major part in the Revolutionary War. There’s an immense amount of history to explore here, from the early Colonial periods of America to organized crime by the Winter Hill Gang in the late 20th century. While the neighborhood consists mostly of homes, condos and apartments, there are also shops, restaurants and parks within walking distance. The neighborhood used to be more secluded from Downtown Boston, but recent improvements to the area’s public transportation have turned Winter Hill into a popular choice for commuters. “The neighborhood has changed with the new green line,” says Jack Lister, a Real Estate Salesperson with Berkshire Hathaway Verani Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area since 1967. “The route pretty much goes right through the middle of downtown.”
