Neighborhood

The Neponset River Reservation expands along the southeastern border of the West Street – River Street neighborhood. It’s a great local green space with a beach and two-mile bike trail called Quincy RiverWalk – the perfect little oasis in such a large city!

And speaking of green spaces, residents enjoy having the George Wright Golf Course, Ross Playground, and Sherrin Woods nearby. You’ll find everything from cafes to fast-causal restaurants down the road in Hyde Park. You’re just nine miles outside of downtown Boston, and 14 miles from the international airport. Public transit stops are plentiful and can take you nearly anywhere you need to go in Boston.
