Beacon Hill

With its cobblestone streets and brick row houses, Beacon Hill is a favorite spot for residents who savor the finest examples of Federal and Greek Revival architecture in the city. The historic district is known for the charming boutiques, antique shops, and romantic restaurants lining Charles Street, as well as hidden gardens and perpetually-burning gas lights. Situated directly north of the Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden, this cozy enclave offers a rich community life, with neighbors meeting neighbors on the Hill’s commercial streets. The gold dome of the Massachusetts State House sparkles upon the city it oversees.
