Flat of the Hill is a community with the Beacon Hill neighborhood, which is known for its gorgeous architecture and as the home of the Massachusetts State House. Boasting beautiful Victorian brick rowhouses and Federal-style homes, Flat of the Hill has mid-range to upscale housing options available for rent in a variety of styles. Flat of the Hill is bounded by Charles Street, and along this expansive thoroughfare you’ll find eclectic restaurants, specialty shops, and neighborhood pubs.
Flat of the Hill is nestled along the Charles River, allowing for excellent outdoor recreation opportunities. Residents enjoy fishing, boating, and walking along the river while the Hatch Memorial Shell and Esplandade Hatch are popular outdoor venues for concerts and other special events including a 4th of July fireworks show over the water. Flat of the Hill is also adjacent to the Boston Public Garden and the Boston Common, two sprawling historic green spaces with landmarks, trails, playgrounds, and more. During the summer, locals rent swan boats at the Boston Public Garden while the Boston Common Frog Pond transforms into a ice-skating rink during the winter. City dwellers will also enjoy only being a few blocks away from Downtown Boston.
