Beacon Hill

Welcome to Beacon Hill, a historic haven with a distinguished ambiance. The Massachusetts State House stands proud at the top of Beacon Hill above the brick homes and cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill. Bordering America’s oldest public park, Boston Common, and the Esplanade, residents enjoy easy access to downtown Boston. Literary giants Louisa May Alcott, Henry David Thoreau and Robert Frost once found inspiration in this neighborhood, where their legacy still lingers. The lifestyle here is reflective, elegant, and secluded, with steep, narrow streets discouraging noisy traffic. The winsome housing stock, predominantly historic row houses, brownstones, and single-family homes, preserves historic charm while offering modern comforts.

Explore the rich history at neighborhood landmarks such as Louisburg Square, the Nichols House Museum, the Charles Street Meeting House, the Museum of African American History, and the Boston Athenaeum. Take a step back to Colonial Boston by visiting Acorn Street, the most photographed street in Boston and recently named most beautiful streets in the world, or along the Freedom Trail. Discover understated neighborhood nightlife venues like the 21st Amendment, the iconic Cheers, or peruse the latest selection of curated books while sipping afternoon tea at Beacon Hill Books & Cafe. Beacon Hill is home to students at Bay State College, Emerson College, Fisher College, Hult International Business School, Suffolk University, Tufts Medical School and more.
