Only fifteen minutes from BU, the extraordinarily diverse Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, has much to offer prospective homebuyers. Jamaica Plain, known as JP by its residents, is a hip community committed to sustainable agriculture, fair-trade commerce, and the environment. There are no chain stores in the neighborhood and residents tend to lean left-of-center in regard to politics. The neighborhood evolved after the Civil War and was once described as the “Eden of America.” It was originally a series of large farms, then became one of the nation’s first streetcar suburbs. Today, Jamaica Plain encompasses a significant part of Boston’s famous Emerald Necklace Conservancy. The Conservancy was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, a renowned landscape architect of the late nineteenth century. It consists of a gorgeous seven-mile series of contiguous parks.
Speaking of parks, Jamaica Plain has several, in addition to other beautiful outdoor destinations. For example, the sixty-eight-acre Jamaica Pond is a popular spot for strolling, fishing, sailboating, and row boating. Similarly, Arnold Arboretum, the oldest public arboretum in North American, is another must-see landscape in Jamaica Plain. The Arboretum is a link in the aforementioned Emerald Necklace and comprises two hundred and eighty-one acres with more than one million plants. Additional points of interest in proximity to Jamaica Plain real estate include the two hundred and seventy-five acre Forest Hill Cemetery, parts of the seventy-two-acre Franklin Park Zoo, Hyde Square, the Brendan Behan Pub, The Frogmore, the Loring-Greenough House, The Footlight Club, The Eliot School, and Centre Street.
Centre Street serves as the main dining and shopping destination in the neighborhood. Along Centre Street, near Jamaica Plain homes, you’ll find places like Espresso Yourself, Salmagundi, Boomerangs, Casa Verde, Carrot Flower, Wonder Spice Café, Fire Opal, and dozens more delightful shops, boutiques, cafes, bars, and restaurants. Jamaica Plain also has several public transit options including the Forest Hills Commuter Rail station, the Green Line’s Heath Street stop, and the Orange Line’s Forest Hills, Green Street, Stony Brook, and Jackson Square stops.
