Experience Boston from one of its most beautiful and livable neighborhoods. Our sunny Jamaica Plain home offers the rare combination of a peaceful, tree-lined residential setting with easy access to downtown Boston, Cambridge, the Longwood Medical Area, and destinations throughout New England.

Whether you’re visiting Boston with family, working remotely, relocating, spending time at one of the city’s universities or hospitals, or simply looking for a comfortable home base while exploring New England, our home is designed for settling in and living well.

Unlike a typical short-term rental, this is our thoughtfully maintained family home. It is warm, comfortable, and fully equipped for everyday life, with plenty of space to relax, work, cook, gather, and make yourself at home.

A Quiet Boston Neighborhood with Everything Nearby

Located on a peaceful residential street in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood, our home offers a combination that can be surprisingly hard to find in the city: space, greenery, a private yard, and a quiet neighborhood while remaining connected to everything Boston has to offer.

You’re just:

• About a 15-minute walk to the Orange Line for easy access to downtown Boston
• Minutes from the Longwood Medical Area and many of Boston’s major hospitals
• Steps from the Arnold Arboretum, one of Boston’s most beautiful green spaces in every season
• Close to Jamaica Plain’s cafés, restaurants, breweries, bookstores, playgrounds, and locally owned shops
• Convenient to Brookline, Fenway, Back Bay, Cambridge, and downtown Boston
• Well positioned for day trips and weekend adventures throughout Massachusetts and New England

Jamaica Plain feels distinctly residential and local, with historic homes, tree-lined streets, parks, walking paths, neighborhood restaurants, and a strong sense of community.

It is an ideal choice for guests who want to experience Boston without feeling as though they are living in the middle of a tourist district.

Boston Through the Seasons

One of the best things about living in Boston is how dramatically the city changes throughout the year. Each season brings an entirely different New England experience.

Spring

Boston comes back to life in spring, with flowering trees, magnolias, tulips, and gardens throughout the city.

Spend your days walking the Arnold Arboretum, exploring the Public Garden and Beacon Hill, catching the beginning of baseball season, visiting nearby farms, or taking spring day trips throughout Massachusetts.

It is also a wonderful time for college visits, graduations, reunions, and exploring Boston before the summer crowds arrive.

Summer

Summer is Boston at its most energetic.

Enjoy outdoor dining, neighborhood farmers markets, concerts, festivals, waterfront walks, Red Sox games, and long evenings outside.

From Jamaica Plain, you can easily spend the day exploring Boston and then escape the city for beaches and coastal towns throughout Massachusetts.

Weekend destinations include Cape Cod, Cape Ann, Rockport, Gloucester, Newport, the Berkshires, and the mountains and lakes of New Hampshire.

Back at home, enjoy the private yard, outdoor dining area, and grill.

Fall

Autumn in New England is hard to beat.

The Arnold Arboretum and Jamaica Plain become especially beautiful as the leaves change, while apple orchards, farm stands, pumpkin patches, and scenic drives are within easy reach.

Popular fall adventures include:

• Salem during the Halloween season
• Historic Concord and Lexington
• Apple picking and farm visits throughout eastern Massachusetts
• Scenic drives through Massachusetts and New Hampshire
• Weekend trips to the Berkshires, White Mountains, Vermont, or coastal New England

Or stay close to home and wander Beacon Hill, the Public Garden, Harvard Square, and Boston’s historic neighborhoods beneath the fall foliage.

Winter

Winter brings a quieter, cozier side of Boston.

Holiday lights fill the city in December, museums and restaurants provide plenty to do indoors, and skating rinks, winter markets, historic neighborhoods, and seasonal events make Boston especially atmospheric.

Our home also makes a comfortable launching point for winter adventures throughout New England, including day trips or weekends in New Hampshire, Vermont, and the Berkshires.

Afterward, come home to the fireplace, a warm kitchen, and the jetted soaking tub.

Explore Boston and New England

Our location makes it easy to combine city experiences with New England adventures.

Spend the morning exploring Boston’s museums or historic neighborhoods, then head out for an afternoon along the coast, in the countryside, or at a nearby farm.

Easy excursions include:

• Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Fenway, the North End, and Boston’s waterfront
• Cambridge and Harvard Square
• Salem
• Concord and Lexington
• Cape Ann, Gloucester, and Rockport
• Massachusetts beaches and coastal towns
• Newport, Rhode Island
• The Berkshires
• Southern Maine
• New Hampshire and the White Mountains
• Vermont

Whether you spend your stay exploring every weekend or simply living like a local in Jamaica Plain, the house offers a peaceful place to come home to at the end of the day.

Our calendar is often configured for longer stays, which work especially well for relocation, sabbaticals, remote work, medical or academic assignments, and extended visits to Boston.
