Roxbury Overview

Roxbury is a neighborhood in Boston thatÆs known for being one of the oldest parts of the city. The neighborhood has a rich cultural and artistic scene that includes the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists. RoxburyÆs diverse attractions, dining establishments, and proximity to downtown Boston make it a great place to call home.

What is the history of Roxbury?

Roxbury has a notable history of being among the first towns in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The town was designated a city in 1846, then ended up being annexed to Boston in 1868. Since then, Roxbury has been known as a neighborhood in Boston. In the 17th century, Roxbury served as a major place for transportation and trade due to the land route that settlers took to reach the capital. Over the years, Roxbury has been a thriving town, city, and neighborhood with several industries, including tanneries, breweries, iron foundries, and mills.

The coldest month, January, has an average temperature of 30 degrees F. Low temperatures can reach the 20s. December has the most precipitation on average, while February tends to be the windiest month. Roxbury has an annual precipitation of around 21 inches per year.

How do I get around town?

Roxbury is a highly walkable neighborhood in Boston, so relying on a car to get around isnÆt usually necessary for many residents. Public transportation via the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is available for those who need to take a bus or subway to get from place to place. The MBTAÆs Orange Line subway has a convenient stop at Roxbury Crossing. Several bus lines serve the Roxbury area and provide ways to reach other parts of the Boston area.

What is the Roxbury commute like?

Roughly 41 percent of residents living in apartments in Roxbury take public transportation to get to and from work. Around 43 percent drive to and from work either alone or as part of a carpool with other drivers. The commute from Roxbury is around 29 minutes one way, which is a bit longer than the U.S. average commute of 26 minutes. For those who need to drive to other areas of Boston or other towns or cities for work, a few major roads are nearby. I-93 runs north to south just a couple of minutes away from RoxburyÆs eastern edge. I-90, Route 203, Seaver Street, and Columbus Avenue are also nearby.

What are the local media outlets?

Since Roxbury is part of the Boston metro area, residents in this neighborhood can enjoy local and national programming and get the latest news by watching WBZ Channel 4 (CBS), WCVB Channel 5 (ABC), and WBTS-LD Channel 8 (NBC). Those living in Roxbury apartments can also read the Boston Herald or visit the newspaperÆs website at www.bostonherald.com Local newspapers also include the West Roxbury-Roslindale Bulletin and the Boston Bulletin, which can be found online at www.bulletinnewspapers.weebly.com.

The neighborhood offers a strong sense of community with local festivals and other events taking place throughout the year.

What Roxbury landmarks should I see?

The William Lloyd Garrison House at 125 Highland Street, which dates back to the 1840s, was the home of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. The Abbotsford house on Walnut Avenue, which is now the site of the National Center of Afro-American Artists, was built in 1872. The Eliot Burying Ground on Eustis Street is a historic cemetery dating back to the 1630s. The Shirley-Eustis House, built in 1747, is a National Historic Landmark that includes the main mansion, a carriage house, and orchards.

What is there to do around Roxbury?

Roxbury offers plenty of outdoor areas to enjoy sunshine and fresh air. Franklin Park includes 485 acres of open space with amenities and attractions such as Scarboro Pond, the Elma Lewis Playstead, and the Bear Cages. The park is also home to the famous Franklin Park Zoo, where Roxbury residents can see African lions, red pandas, ring-tailed lemurs, zebras, and several other wildlife species.

Roxbury also hosts events in honor of veterans, such as the Veterans Welcome Home Luncheon, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Commemoration, and Veterans Appreciation Night at Boston Ballet.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Residents in Roxbury who want to get out of town for a bit can venture beyond Boston to enjoy the great outdoor or the ocean views. Just a short drive north of town is Harold Parker State Forest and Willowdale State Forest, which offer camping, hiking, and other activities. Manchester-by-the-Sea provides seaside vacation spots for those who want to go swimming, boating, or fishing in the Atlanta Ocean. F. Gilbert Hills State Forest and Wrentham State Forest are a fairly short drive south from Roxbury.

Where is the best place to move in Roxbury?

Roxbury has several apartment buildings, mainly on the western side of town close to Franklin Park. Living close to the park makes it easy for residents to head outdoors for fun and excitement while also being conveniently near major roads and local amenities. Apartment buildings on the eastern side of town put residents a bit closer to the waterfront for scenic views of the bay, although there arenÆt as many of these available.
