Beacon Hill
Dubbed by native Bostonians “The Hill,” this neighborhood provides unmatched charm and prestige. The redbrick mansions of Louisburg Square and Mount Vernon Street are homes to Boston’s elite, many hiding elaborate and meticulously maintained gardens. Numerous single family townhouses throughout the area have been converted to multi-unit apartment buildings under the watchful eye of historical conservationists. These active committees remain dedicated to maintaining the original feel of Beacon Hill and Boston. Their accomplishments are visible in the picturesque appearance of Charles Street with its burning gas lights on brick sidewalks lined with quaint restaurants, pubs, antique shops, and family run boutiques. Perhaps the most significant result of their efforts is exhibited in the comfortable neighborhood feel that “The Hill” provides to its residents. Annual festivals and other various clubs embed the community atmosphere that much more. Easily identified by the gold-domed State House, Beacon Hill sits close to Massachusetts General Hospital, Government Center and the Boston Common and Public Garden. The Redline provides convenient and direct access to South Station, Harvard Square and all other public forms of transportation.
