The Neighborhood

Centrally located in Boston's historic Back Bay on Commonwealth Avenue between Charlesgate East and Massachusetts Ave., our condo sits steps away from the Hynes Convention Center, the Shops at the Prudential Center and Copley Place Mall, and the boutiques of Newbury and Boylston Street.  Our historic Back Bay brownstone is located only a few blocks from the serene Boston Commons and Public Gardens, the Charles River Esplanade, the Boston Public Library, historic Beacon Hill, and the Freedom Trail.  The Back Bay neighborhood sits on land reclaimed from water in the mid-nineteenth century. Unlike many other Boston neighborhoods, the Back Bay was laid out in a grid pattern and was based on French urban planning with parks and wide boulevards. 

The major shopping streets are Newbury Street and Boylston Street in Back Bay and Charles Street and Cambridge Street in Beacon Hill. The former is connected to the Prudential Center and Copley Place malls. 

Commuter Rail, Amtrak and Orange Line MBTA service are available at Back Bay station. Back Bay Station is a major intermodal center, and with Amtrak service, connects Back Bay to points well beyond Boston, including, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. The main transit service in the Back Bay is the Green Line central subway, with several stops along Boylston Street, including the Hynes Convention (Newbury St. & Mass Ave.) and Copley Station (Boylston. & Dartmouth St.) stops.

The closest MBTA stops (T or subway) are Hynes Convention Center Station (0.2 miles away), Kenmore Station (0.3 miles away), and Copley Station (0.7 miles away), all on the Green Line.

Two parking options are available: i) On-Street: Metered parking is available right in front of the building, which becomes free overnight parking from 8PM to 8AM (please take note of street cleaning restrictions); and ii) Several neighborhood garages are located around the corner from the building (Hynes Auditorium Garage @ 50 Dalton St. and Pilgrim Parking @ the Somerset Garage).  Uber, Hubway Bikes, and the MBTA are the easiest forms of transportation.
