Beacon Hill provides Red Line access at the Mass General/Charles Street stop, connecting to Park Street, downtown Boston and South Station. Back Bay offers walkable retail on Newbury Street and close transit options. The North End sits in the heart of downtown with walkable access and dining along Hanover Street. The Seaport depends on frequent bus service linking to the Financial District, Midtown and Downtown Crossing. Fenway is served by the Green Line at Mass Ave with direct downtown service, though trains can be crowded at peak times. Leather District residents can walk to the Financial District. South Boston has Red Line access for Financial District commuters.
One of the top must haves I hear from (out of state) new Boston condo for sale buyers? A straightforward commute to downtown Boston. With many companies now requiring a few days a week in the office, living near reliable public transit has become more important than ever. If you're house hunting with that in mind, here are the neighborhoods I think offer the best access to the T (subway):
1.Beacon Hill: Yes, everyone loves Beacon Hill for its Charles Street retail corridor, Beacon Hill has diverse population with brick-row architecture buildings amidst tree-lined streets. But it's also excellent if you need to get downtown regularly. The ideal commuting section of Beacon Hill is the Mass General/Charles St Red Line T stop. From there, you can access Park Street, downtown Boston and South Station.
4. Boston Seaport: No rail lines service this area, but buses run frequently to and from downtown on practically every Boston neighborhood, including Financial District, Boston Midtown, and Downtown Crossing. Fenway: A bit more low key than its Back Bay neighbor, Fenway is served by the Green Line T. The station is at Mass Ave steps from all the restaurants, shops and cafes. The train can get pretty crowded at peak times, but it's definitely a direct line to downtown.
