Boston Overview

When people think Massachusetts they instantly think Boston. Home of the Red Sox, Dropkick Murphys and that oh-so-famous tea party, Boston is a New England destination that far surpasses most visitor's expectations with ease. Covering almost fifty square miles and boasting an extended population of almost five million people (all of them Sox fans!), Boston is one of the nation's premier east coast cities and finding your new home in one of the many options in Boston apartments and rentals is the best.

What is the history of Boston?

Boston lays claim to being one of the nation's oldest cities, and has the historical resume to back it up. From the previously mentioned Boston Tea Party to the Battle of Bunker Hill, this east coast landmark played numerous roles during the American Revolution. Home to not only the U.S.'s first subway system but also some of its first public parks, Boston has been a leader city for the better part of several centuries. 1872 saw the Great Boston Fire take hold, an unfortunate event that brought new structures and architectural flourish about. The city continued to expand well into the 1970's, eventually largely dividing into a number of townships. Boasting an epic view of the Atlantic coastline, Boston has evolved into not only the lone state capitol to reside near a coast but also a top-notch center for educational studies in the fields of science and medicine.

How is the weather in Boston?

Like much of its New England counterparts, the greater Boston area is defined by four distinct seasons. Winters can be harsh, with snow commonplace, although many say the spectacular fall and spring weather is well worth the shoveling. Summers can be hot, but with an ocean breeze never far away the city of Boston manages to keep its cool. Autumn is crisp and comfortable, with baseball hats and hooded sweatshirts in high demand, while the spring thaw acts as a high motivator for area fishermen and spring season enthusiasts. Mind the fog!

How do I get around town?

They say the construction never stops in Boston, so while owning a car may lend itself to a keen sense of independence it may not help you get somewhere in a hurry. Fortunately for Boston residents, a large number of public transportation options abound. Most people travel via 'The T', a long-revered subway system spanning almost seventy miles underground. Buses are also an option, although they tend to encounter those construction traffic issues as well, there's a reason that Boston is often referred to as 'the walking city'.

What is the Boston commute like?

The two major highways for commuters in Boston are 93 which runs north-south and 90 that runs east-wast. Rather than driving though, many Boston residents opt for some of the fantastic public communiting options rather than sitting through traffic.

What are the local media outlets?

The Boston Globe' is a world-famous news outlet, as is its counterpart 'The Herald'. Unsurprisingly a large number of sport-centric talk radio stations call Boston home, including WEII and CBS WBZ. Boston remains a hot spot for film locations, recently hosting such huge Hollywood productions as 'The Town' and 'The Departed'.

Why live in Boston, MA?

From the one-of-a-kind people to the contagious hometown pride that pours from every inch of the city, Boston is truly a destination like no other. Irish-American heritage is omnipresent throughout the Boston area, and its St. Paddy's Day celebrations are truly the stuff of legend.

What Boston landmarks should I see?

Known to many scholars as the 'intellectual capitol of the world', Boston has played home to many celebrated wordsmiths throughout the years, including Thoreau, Emerson and Hawthorne. The Boston Public Library was the first of its kind in the entire country and dates all the way back to 1852, and the city's proud lineage of learning extends to a university that truly needs little introduction - Harvard. Boston Common is literally the oldest public park in the entire country, while scenic destinations such as the calm waters of Jamaica Pond and the botany-heavy delights of the Boston Public Garden are hugely popular with residents.

What is there to do around Boston?

Residents will have little trouble finding a bevy of exciting things to do in Boston. Considered one of the top 5 ensembles in the nation, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is a favorite of classical music lovers, while clubs such as House of Blues and The Middle East cater more to the hard rock end of the spectrum. Opera and stage theater can also be found across the city, with culture-highlighting art gallery tours and more omnipresent throughout Boston. Home to four major sports leagues, Boston fans are truly a league of their own. Fenway Park is a simple 'must-visit', with basketball, hockey and more also strongly represented by the city. A word of advice - don't mention you like the Yankees, even if it happens to be true. Outdoor activity is a great way to explore Boston, and the city's huge array of public parks makes it a breeze. Spend an afternoon with the kids getting up-close-and-personal with a variety of animals at the Franklin Park Zoo, or take in a live performance at the truly unique Hatch Shell concert venue, placed within eyeshot of the scenic Charles River.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Boston is a fantastic place to spend time, but its proximity to a number of getaways makes it even that much more desireable. From the scenic beach shores of Cape Cod to the lobster-filled lands of Maine, Boston acts as a perfect jumpin-off point for a number of driveable vacation getaways. The bright lights of Broadway and New York City are a reasonable commute, while New Hampshire offers a large number of camping options for those eager to get back to nature. Of course, Massachusetts itself holds much to explore, including the funky boutiques of Northampton and the spooky history of Salem.

Where is the best place to move in Boston?

With a huge assortment of neighborhoods to its credit, Boston seems tailor made for a variety of lifestyles. Finding the perfect apartment in the Cambridge area provides a perfect setting for students yearning to be close to universities and libraries, while South Boston rentals are right in the mix of much of the fantastic nightlife and cultural excitement found in Boston, including the Orpheum Theater and the Citi Performing Arts Center. Somerville and Quincy rentals are in great areas for families to call home, while the Harbor District to the east is comprised of a number of small islands. From affrodable townhomes to traditional apartment buildings to sky-high, chic lofts, Boston has no shortage of living options that cater to each and every lifestyle and budget.
