Back Bay Apartments for Rent: 0 Listings

Surely the most upscale and architecturally significant area of Boston, the Back Bay is the place to see and be seen. Unlike the most of Boston, it is easily navigated, with its grid pattern streets, that are lined with ornate turn of the century buildings, brownstones, and marvelous churches. Commonwealth Ave, Beacon St, Marlborough St. and chic Newbury Street, all lead to the historic Boston Common, with its’ statues, gardens, swan boats and, in winter, ice rink. With its walking paths and scenic attractions, the Common is a destination and a thoroughfare that borders the Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the Financial District and the Theater District. The Back Bay’s busiest area is Boylston Street, which is a modern and upscale, with large retailer stores, the Prudential Mall, and top restaurants with inviting outdoor seating. Here you will find the grandiose Boston Public Library, and Copley Church, with its reflection perfectly mirrored by the glass of the fifty-two floor Prudential building. Bordering the Back Bay to the north is the widest part of the Charles River, on the banks of which is “The Esplanade,” which features paths for walking/jogging/bicycling, grassy areas and floating docks for picnics and relaxing, the Hatch Shell performance stage, playgrounds, work out stations, ball fields, and boating.
