An upscale historic district in downtown Boston, Beacon Hill resides on the coast of the Charles River, just north of the 50-acre Boston Common.. This neighborhood is one of the oldest and most picturesque in the country with brick-lined streets, gas lanterns, and historic landmarks spotting the landscape. With its stately brick homes, cobblestone streets, and colonial roots, Beacon Hill is a charming historic region with plenty of amenities to offer prospective renters.
Historic architecture, antique shops, and fine dining spots define this Boston neighborhood. Visit historic homes like Nichols House Museum to tour a grand Beacon Hill residence from 1804, or venture over to the Museum of African American History on Joy Street. A prominent landmark and must-visit location is The Massachusetts State House in the center of town, built in 1795.
Beacon Hill’s location is ideal for office commuters and city lovers. This neighborhood sits just two miles outside of Downtown Boston, and ample public transportation options make traveling to and from work a breeze. Rent in this area can be a bit steep, but the historic homes, river views, city parks, and location make Beacon Hill worth the price for many renters.
