Upscale historic neighborhood with Victorian brownstones, high-end shopping, and fine dining
Back Bay is Boston's most prestigious residential neighborhood, featuring tree-lined streets of Victorian brownstones, the world-famous Newbury Street shopping district, and the iconic Prudential Center. Built on landfill in the 1850s-1880s, Back Bay's grid layout (unusual for Boston) creates one of America's best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban architecture. The Boston Public Library, Copley Square, and the Charles River Esplanade make this neighborhood a cultural cornerstone. With a perfect walk score of 99, Back Bay is the pinnacle of walkable urban living — at a premium price.
