Jamaica Plain

"Eden of America"
Jamaica Plain, often referred to as "JP," is an urban neighborhood that strikes a balance between city living and suburban charm. Housing in Jamaica Plain varies from Victorian-era homes and more modern developments to suit different preferences and budgets. The restaurant scene in Jamaica Plain is highly acclaimed offering food options of all kinds. Live music, breweries and bars make it a fun place to socialize with friends and get out of the house.

Be sure to check out Sam Adams Brewery and learn about their beer-making process with a free tour and complimentary tasting. For a fun outdoor activity, Jamaica Pond is another great place to visit. You can rent kayaks, rowboats and sailboats or go fishing for some bass and trout. If you do ever need to leave the area, Jamaica Plain has transportation options via the Orange and the Green Lines, and multiple bus routes to make getting around to other parts of the city a breeze.

Jamaica Plain — 8/10 Rating (based on 3 neighborhood reviews)
The neighborhood is fantastic, the main reason I chose this apartment. It’s a little further outside Boston, so definitely a little quieter, and it has a mix of grad students, young professionals and families, which is great if you want to get out of the Allston college scene. There’s lots of restaurants and small businesses, and great libraries and cafes for studying. Also plenty of green space, with Jamaica Pond and the Arboretum right next door.

We are on the border between JP and Mission Hill. Parking on our street is un-permitted and very easy. We are adjacent to an elementary/middle school, so the street gets very busy during the week when school lets out.
