Top neighborhoods in Boston

Commonwealth
What it’s like to live in Commonwealth
Historic elegance defines Commonwealth Avenue, where impressive brownstones line this grand boulevard featuring a central mall designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Residents enjoy both architectural prestige and the practical benefits of living along one of Boston's primary east-west connections providing both shopping access and transportation options. Though some buildings show their age with vintage quirks requiring maintenance knowledge beyond typical renter experience, the trade-off comes in high ceilings, ornate woodwork, and architectural details unavailable in newer construction. The neighborhood's proximityto Fenway Park, the Charles River Esplanade, and multiple universities creates ideal location for both cultural experiences and recreational opportunities despite urban density.

What it’s like to live in Oak Square
Community connection defines Oak Square, where Victorian homes and triple-deckers create a classic Boston neighborhood in Brighton's western edge.

Though street parking challenges patience during winter snow emergencies, the neighborhood's excellent public transportation options reduce car dependency. The area's diverse population creates an authentic urban experience where family-owned businesses still outnumber chains, and longtime residents share neighborhood history with newcomers.
