The Fenway Neighborhood
Fenway is a neighborhood bounded on the south by Mission Hill, the Back Bay to the east and on north and west by the Mass Pike and Kenmore Square. The neighborhood is mostly five- to six-story walk-up apartment buildings, with small, independently owned shops scattered throughout. The area has recently had an expansion of upscale restaurants and pubs and is dotted with contemporary styled apartment buildings. This area provides housing for many students who attend the surrounding colleges, universities and hospitals unable to provide on-campus living arrangements. The neighborhood feels somewhat isolated from the rest of downtown due to the large park and major highway that act as the neighborhood’s boundaries. With its proximity to major parks, Back Bay, Boston University, Northeastern University and the Longwood cultural district, Fenway may be Boston’s last untapped real estate gem.

Back Bay Neighborhood
Back Bay is one of America’s most desirable neighborhoods. Newbury Street, Boylston Street and Commonwealth Avenue are lined with beautiful brownstone buildings, unique shops, trendy restaurants and vintage homes, making the Back Bay an extremely fashionable destination for Boston residents and visitors. In fact, it’s not uncommon to spot celebrities strolling up and down these picturesque streets. Architecturally the neighborhood is dominated by Victorian brownstone buildings in its northern, more residential portion; the southern part of the neighborhood is far more commercial and is home to some of Boston’s tallest skyscrapers, the Prudential Center and the John Hancock Tower, in addition to architectural treasures such as Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library. Back Bay has some of the most expensive homes and condominiums in the state of MA.
South End
The South End lies south of the Back Bay, northwest of South Boston, northeast of Roxbury, north of Dorchester, and southwest of Bay Village. Despite the name, it is not directly south of the center of downtown Boston.
The South End is a diverse neighborhood integrating popele of nearly every race, religion and sexual orientation. The South End is known as an increasingly upper middle class neighborhood, although is still home to many lower income residents. The South End is one of Boston’s main restaurant districts offering a diverse mix of cuisines, many at a relatively high price point. Tremont Street is often called “Restaurant Row.”
Bay Village
The Bay Village neighborhood is the smallest and arguably least known neighborhood in Boston, with a population of approximately 2,100 residents. The streets are lined primarily with small brick rowhouses. Traditionally middle to lower-middle class, the neighborhood has become relatively expensive and upscale beginning around the mid 1990s.The one-way street network and non-grid arrangement makes the interior residential streets in Bay Village relatively quiet due to sparse automobile traffic and a little tricky to navigate.
Architecturally, many Bay Village homes look like smaller versions of Beacon Hill townhouses. This is largely because many of the craftspeople who built the Beacon Hill residences settled in this area and built the local residences for their own use.
