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.
