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
"It was your informative website that led us to call you for help. We were looking on our own and having a fair amount of success but felt we might be missing something.

Because we found so many of the real estate “buy and sell” metrics offered on your website so helpful...it was only logical that we call you.

And are we glad we did Joe!

You listened to what we wanted our budget guidelines. You asked questions and only showed us units that fit the bill. No wasted time with you.

You got us into a building we had not considered. Your got us in on a tight time schedule when they were not normally open. And, you held our hand all the way through to the close…and have offered help even beyond that.

What can I say, except that you gave us superb service--really 1st Class, Joe.  We appreciate that you found our new home and worked so hard to make everything go so smoothly.

Keep that website going as it is a wonderful resource that we will turn to for years to come.

When we know of anyone who needs help we will be referring them to you and when it is time to sell we will only be making one call—to Joe Wolvek the best there is!"

Sincerely,
Will Marks and Claudia Sato
