Neighborhood

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.
