385 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02115

"One of the best neighborhoods to live in Boston! Charming houses, best shopping, fine restaurants, culture and education are abundant! "

"By using the trolly system it is easy to get down town, or you can take Lyft, this neighborhood has a great bus system. "

"it’s easy and low-stress. take the orange line from back bay to DTX. there are occasional MBTA delays, but overall it’s a decent commute."

"Quick and convenient access to the T from all parts of Back Bay, with easy bus connections at Copley and Kenmore stations."

"Old world feel. Very much an old Boston traditional neighborhood with beautiful architecture and excellent shopping. "

"There's easy access to public transportation, major hospitals, ethnic food stores, and bistros. There are a lot of different ethnic groups here. Also, lots of biking and hiking trails."

"Back Bay is a nice area. I really only recognize my neighbors by their dogs, because we often exchange dog names before we get to the level of actually meeting each other. Commonwealth Ave Mall is a great place to walk dogs or people watch. I live right next to Newbury Street, which can be super crowded with tourists in the summer. It’s a safe area but I have seen some shady drug deals going on occasionally. This is a city. So you’ll have that. Rent keeps going up and the neighborhood keeps feeling more like a shopping mall. The biggest win for me is the close proximity to the esplanade. "
