Biking along the Charles River, strolling around the Fens, walking to Red Sox games—it’s easy to see why Kenmore is one of Boston’s most sought-after communities. Boston University’s campus dominates the western half of the neighborhood, making it an ideal spot for students to find apartments (Berklee College of Music and Boston Conservatory are very close by as well).
Fenway Park is just a few blocks away, making it quick and easy to walk to the legendary stadium and the bars and restaurants surrounding it. The endless shopping and dining of Back Bay are a short walk to the east as well, and convenient access to the Massachusetts Turnpike and multiple MBTA rail stations makes it easy to reach anywhere in the region.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
