Boston

Broad streets and elegant townhomes are the hallmark of this neighborhood, synonymous with luxury since the Victorian era. Everything from the lush green Esplanade along the Charles River to Symphony Hall is within an easy walk, while the human scale and beautiful architecture of Newbury Street invites shopping, strolling, and stopping for brunch or ice cream. In fact, Back Bay is home to the most concentrated shopping area in the city, from brownstones housing boutiques to glass-enclosed malls.
