One of the most iconic neighborhoods located at the affluent Back Bay destination is full of shopping and dining places you must visit, along Newbury Street, all locals frequent designer boutiques, fashion chains, art galleries, and patio cafes set in elegant brick townhouses. You can walk a few streets over to Marlborough and Beacon to find peaceful, tree-lined streets where the crowds feel miles away.

Staying in Back Bay means quick access to almost any part of the city, whether it’s crossing the bridge to Cambridge or heading to dinner in the South End. The Green and Orange lines are just steps away, but the ability to walk almost anywhere in the city is the real draw for most residents. Access to cultural institutions like the Boston Public Library and Symphony Hall, as well as iconic green spaces like the Boston Public Garden and Commonwealth Mall, is an obvious draw that explains why the area has maintained its desirability from the Victorian era to the present day.
