Located about five miles southwest of downtown Boston, Jamaica Hills-Pond has many historic multi-family homes for rent. The commercial district lies along Centre Street and provides residents with a wide choice of local restaurants and stores.
Nature lovers will find much to explore in Jamaica Hills-Pond. Your apartment puts you within easy walking distance of Jamaica Pond, a 68-acre body of water surrounded by a 1.5-mile path perfect for walking or running. Go for a jog around the pond or rent a kayak from the boathouse and take to the water. Locals who prefer gardens head to the 281-acre Arnold Arboretum to stroll among plants and trees from around the world. Go birdwatching, admire the lilac collection, or sit under one of the maple trees on a lovely spring day. Afterward, walk over to Wonder Spice Cafe for Cambodian cuisine, and then visit J.P. Licks for ice cream.

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.
