Nestled beside the Charles River, West End Boston is the city’s premier neighborhood with waterfront views, historic museums, luxury apartments, and more. West End Boston is packed with high-rise apartments, but there are also quaint historic condos that are available for rent as well. This is one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods, but it has plenty of modern advantages. The Massachusetts General Hospital and several doctors’ offices dominate the neighborhood, so you won’t have to go far for a check-up or emergency.
What is it like living in the West End? Well, this neighborhood offers riverside parks for the community. After the sunsets, catch a Boston Bruins or Boston Celtics game at the famous TD Garden or watch a 3D film at Mugar Omni Theater in the Science Museum. Grab a meal at the plethora of restaurants found on the east side of the neighborhood. When you need to leave the neighborhood, the West End’s public transit services have you covered for your trip to nearby areas like Downtown Boston and the Waterfront. This neighborhood offers North Station, a major transit hub for Amtrak, as well as a commuter rail and two subway lines.
