Jamaica Plain
Jamaica Plain is a diverse neighborhood that is an ideal place to live no matter who the person is. From family dining and activities, to exciting bars and clubs, to quaint parks and picturesque places to visit, the neighborhood is a true gem in Boston.
The 265-acre Arnold Arboretum is a popular destination in Jamaica Plain as it was designed by the same man who designed Central Park in New York City, Mr. Frederick Law Olmsted. With over 7,000 species of trees and plants, this park is administered by Harvard University and has frequent guided tours throughout the year if you do not wish to tour it alone yourself.
The Hallway Gallery is also an attractive landmark. This building formerly was a ladder store yet not hosts open mic nights, live music, shows, galleries, and more. The Forest Hills Cemetery is a must for those who love literature and history, and the Stone Zoo is a favorite for those of all ages wishing to tour a 100-year-old, 26-acre zoo where snow leopards, Canadian Lynx’s, monkeys, and other animals are beautifully kept.
Truly a place where one can live in a quiet, historic neighborhood, yet still be mere minutes to the heart of Boston, Jamaica Plain is as unique and desirable as any neighborhood of the Hub.
