Back Bay is the epicenter of Boston and one of the most desirable and affluent places to live in the city. It is home to two of the most popular streets in the city, Newbury Street and Boylston Street, which are the cornerstones for shopping, bars, and restaurants.
Back Bay was created in the late 19th century by removing landfill atop Beacon Hill and other nearby neighborhoods and filling in the tidewater flats of the Charles River. This prestigious neighborhood is known for the “brownstone” style building, which dominates the uniquely lush landscape and boasts a Victorian style of urban architecture. Characteristics of this style include high ceilings, elegant parlors, and an emphasis on interior charm and detail. Juxtapose to the nearby and vast entertainment scene, couples and families walk their children and dogs through the tree-lined parks that lie parallel to the populated stir at the city’s main entrance. It is here that you can find a little touch of every lifestyle.
