Everything Old Is New Again

The fact that it was once an actual tidal area helps explain the remarkable density of beautiful, 19th century architectural gems to be found in this much-admired district near downtown Boston. Back Bay breathes history. From its row upon row of brownstone homes to its tree-lined cobblestone streets, this is a wonderful, vibrant neighborhood that is distinctly its own while also offering residents close-in access to high-end shopping, Boston Common, many of the most important cultural hotspots and, of course, Fenway Park. Whether you're looking to dine out, take in a concert, catch a game, or play one of your own, Back Bay puts you at the center of it all.
