I will be working downtown and wish to use trains/subway to get around (will not be owning a car). Ideally, the trip to work would take no more than 45mins. Obviously, with no car I will need to be in a neighbourhood with readily accessible amenities.
  • Backbay: upscale, professionals, expensive, walk to downtown. Tons of restaurants and shops.
  • Beacon Hill: ultra expensive, smack in the middle of downtown. Walk to plenty of restaurants and shops.
  • Brookline: nice town, some college students, bus or T to downtown. Relatively affordable. Decent amount of shops, restaurants.
  • Longwood: nice area, reasonable affordable, college students. Not too many shops or restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Bus or T to downtown.
  • Northend: ?
  • SouthEnd: yuppies, GLBT, expensive but leafy. Plenty of shops and restaurants. Walk or take the bus to downtown.
