Boston – Jamaica Plain

One of Boston's most vibrant and family-friendly neighborhoods — Jamaica Pond, the Emerald Necklace, and a dining scene on Centre St that rivals Cambridge. Victorians and 2-3 family homes with rear yards. Orange Line gives you downtown in 20 minutes; diverse, progressive, and increasingly expensive but still below Back Bay.
