Boston is a city known for its rich intellectual heritage, charming colonial architecture and passionate sports fans. Home to the Red Sox, the original Cheers bar, some of America's top universities and monuments to the American Revolution, Boston has both a youthful and historical climate. Boston's 18 neighborhoods are interconnected by an underground subway called the “T”. Residents are intensely loyal to their neighborhoods, giving each area its own distinct identity.
Two main streets divide Boston into quadrants: Massachusetts Avenue, which runs north and south, and Commonwealth Avenue, which runs east and west through the city. Where you will be for most of your daily routine will most likely determine which mode of transport works best for you. Parking is tight, and Bostonians are famous for their aggressive driving- so not everyone feels comfortable having a car here. Conversely, many residents find the “T” convenient and efficient. A city of contrasts and history, Boston is an exciting place where you can fulfill every need and desire in your search for housing.
