Fenway Boston

MARKET REPORTS
BACK TO MAIN NEIGHBORHOODS PAGE
The Fenway neighborhood of Boston is bordered on the North by Commonwealth Avenue and Brookline Ave, which join at Kenmore Square, along with Beacon St. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is located here.

On the East by Massachusetts Ave, bordering on Boston's Back Bay, on the West by the Riverway.

Also on the west is the Longwood Medical Area, with Beth Israel Deaconess, Brigham and Women's, Children's Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and the Joslin Diabetes Center. It's bordered on the South by Huntington Ave (location of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Northeastern University)  

The Fenway is generally comprised of  two areas: The East Fenway (sometimes called the Symphony area), which borders Back Bay and the South End, and the quiet, tree shaded West Fenway. Across Boylston Street lies Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox.

The Fenway takes its name from The Fens,
a swamp which once existed in that location. That swamp was drained in the 1870’s. Frederick Law Olmstead, who created Central Park in NYC, redeveloped part of the area into parkland, which he integrated into his “Emerald Necklace”, the chain of parks that runs through Boston. The rest of the area was developed for apartments.

The Fenway was once predominantly populated by students.
Through the 90’s to the present, that has evolved, since many young professionals and first time buyers have been priced out of the more expensive Back Bay and South End.

Today, the area now boasts many fine restaurants and cafes, as well as some of the finest cultural institutions in Boston, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
 
Testimonials

"I worked with Joe to purchase my first home in the South End in summer/fall 2009. From start to finish, the experience was exactly what I needed. At every point of the process, Joe's knowledge, attention to detail and responsiveness were evident, and especially helpful for someone new to real estate like me.

In our first showing, Joe made sure I got a more complete perspective of my options and the tradeoffs I'd have to consider. When I hadn't seen the right place, Joe was patient and clearly kept my interests in mind. Eventually when a great opportunity did emerge, he was immediately on top of it and his judgment was spot on. And finally, when I wanted to close as quickly as possible, Joe helped me manage it perfectly.

Results are what matters and I'm extremely happy with my home and confident that I paid the right price. Ultimately, that's the best reflection of my experience with Joe."
