Nestled between the Boston Garden, the Charles River and its prim waterfront esplanade, and wide Boylston Street, with its numerous retail stores, restaurants, bars and tall office towers, the Back Bay is among Boston’s most exquisite, desirable and safe neighborhoods. Tree-lined Marlborough Street near the park is among Boston’s most beautiful of roads and exclusive of addresses. Needless to say, Real Estate in the Back Bay area is in high demand.
Named for the swampy bay it was previously, in 1858 the bay’s filling-in and construction began. Today it features numerous 19th century Victorian buildings. Some are elegant townhouses, especially near the park, while others comprise condominiums and apartments. The Back Bay also features upscale Newbury Street, comprising numerous fine restaurants (some with outdoor seating), art galleries, drinking and shopping establishments, and street musicians. It’s a great place for people watching during a leisurely Sunday stroll. And the area is an easy walk to the Boston Garden and Common, two elegant adjacent parks featuring a small pond enveloping Boston’s renowned and historic Swan Boats, and a manifold of unrivaled rows of flowers.
And for those who seek proximity to their office, the Back Bay is perhaps a ten-minute walk to the Prudential Center, John Hancock Tower and 500 Boylston Street. The financial district downtown is a twenty to thirty minute stroll. Or if you prefer, the MBTA Green Line subway runs underneath Boylston Street for quick access to downtown. And the Back Bay even offers the convenience of a full-size nearby supermarket, adjacent Prudential Center, a benefit other Boston neighborhoods sometimes lack.
