Theaters Entertainment Artistic Quaint Upscale

A quaint neighborhood in the heart of Boston, Washington Street Theater District is just as its name says; it sits along Washington Street and is home to several theaters.

A movie theater, a performing arts theater, and an opera house are all within reach in this urban neighborhood. The Washington Street Theater District neighbors the Boston Common, an urban park of nearly 50 acres that stands as a historic site in the city of Boston. Although the neighborhood is very small, there are abundant rental options, many being upscale, high-rise apartment buildings.
