    "I usually T in and it’s packed but that’s just because it’s very accessible. Overall it’s a bit overcrowded but that’s just normal."

    "the cost of living is high and it may be hard to find a pet-friendly apartment, especially since most of the housing near where I live is for students. but there are also a lot of parks in the area, and people walk their dogs around all the time. Boston in general is also very accommodating of service/therapy dogs."

    "Fenway has culture: you can enjoy a Red Sox game, grab some good eats, or hit the symphony. The food is great, especially El Pelon Taqueria and Citizen Public House."

    "Lots of space in the Fens to walk dogs and let them run and play. It's also a short walk away from several dog parks. Seems to be a very popular area for dog owners."

    "Fenway is close to the symphony, great food, and shopping. It's easy to walk to a wide range of stores, from Target to the posh shops in Newbury Street. There are tons of great, affordable, quick service restaurants. And of course there's Fenway Park (Go Sox!)"

    "There are areas that feel less safe than others, especially at night, but overall it's mostly students and I've never felt unsafe at any time of day. For parents of younger children, it's close to a lot of parks and playgrounds, and there are plenty of students looking for part-time jobs for babysitting/nannying."
