Widely recognized as one of Boston’s greenest and most diverse neighborhoods, Jamaica Plain (or “JP,” as locals call it) is surrounded by the city’s “Emerald Necklace” of parks. For residents in search of a respite from the busy streets and high energy of city life, Jamaica Plain offers a green getaway. Popular parks that surround the area include Olmsted Park, Southwest Corridor Park, and Mozart Park. Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum is one of the main attractions, taking up a large portion of the neighborhood’s south end. Much of the dining and entertainment lies along Centre Street, in the middle and northern sections of the neighborhood. Rail service connects Jamaica Plain to the rest of the Boston area, with several stops along the eastern edge of the neighborhood.
Professionals who inhabit this neighborhood love that JP is just 5 minutes outside of Downtown Boston. Commuting via car can be tricky – with busy streets and limited city parking, it may be easier to use rail service. In terms of affordability, rent rates are about average. Renters pay about $3,300/month to rent an apartment, right on par with the city’s average rent.
