The beacon on this hill that used to warn settlers about foreign invasions is long gone, and today Beacon Hill is a close-knit community in a downtown location. The neighborhood's cobblestone streets and brick row houses directly border the Boston Common and the Public Garden, American's first botanical garden. The gold leaf of the State House Rotunda adorns the hill and shines across the Common. A great place for families, this historic neighborhood is a blend of classic Boston architecture and expansive green space.

The South End, with its blocks of Victorian brick row houses, upscale restaurants, and art galleries, is swiftly becoming one of the most popular places to live in Boston.

Trendy restaurants brush shoulders with coffee shops and Mom & Pop grocery stores along Tremont Street and its side streets all the way down to Washington Street , which is experiencing an artistic revival - a significant number of artists are moving in, and galleries are cropping up around the area to show their works.

Find the pulse of the banking, insurance and legal industries or walk along the waterfront, which is lined with luxury condos, hotels and restaurants. Don't miss the New England Aquarium, the pride of Boston. Take a harbor cruise or a whale-watching expedition. Boston’s Waterfront is an exciting place to live.
