Jamaica Plain Overview
Located in Suffolk County, Jamaica Plain, MA, is one of the best places to live, according to niche.com. It features a wide selection of coffee shops, restaurants and parks. Its proximity to the Greater Boston area is also a huge plus. The area has a younger demographic and, therefore, Jamaica Plain apartments are a hot commodity. This is also a great place for young professionals looking for highly rated schools. Jamaica Plain is located within Boston and doesn't have its own political governance. That tends to make its boundaries somewhat amorphous. Perhaps that's why, when you look it up in the US Census, the result comes back with stats for Boston. However, other sources put the population of this town that's not a town at around 41,000.
Why live in Jamaica Plain, MA?
For those living in apartments in Jamaica Plain, or JP as residents call it, there are many historical and cultural venues to explore. Among other notable residents, poet Sylvia Plath called Jamaica Plain home. The city of Boston is known for its beautiful parks, dubbed the city's Emerald Necklace, and four of the city's parks lie within JP’s city limits. Living in Jamaica Plain provides a mix of suburban and urban life that locals crave. When it comes to exploring parks, bars, restaurants and walking back into history, this is the place to be — and you can do it all on the same day!
