Settled in 1630, Dorchester and its collection of villages formed one of the Massachusetts Bay Colony's largest towns. Up until about 1874, Jones Hill was mostly unsettled and owned by the Sawyer family. As the hill was subdivided and sold, the village began to grow. Things really picked up around 1889, when the trolley arrived. With easier access to the city center, Jones Hill became a diverse community with everything from large estate homes to apartment communities. Most of the historic architecture in Jones Hill dates from this period, such as 97 Sawyer Avenue, built around 1890 and once home to William Trotter, a civil rights activist.
Jones Hill is known for its "triple deckers," homes built around 1900 to hold three separate units. You'll find most of these homes along Downer Avenue. No matter where you decide to rent in Jones Hill, you'll love the sweeping views from this hilltop vantage.
