Back Bay

Back Bay has changed a lot since its creation in the 1890s. One of the only areas of Boston with a true grid, its graceful rowhouses, apartment buildings, and mansions radiate outwards from Commonwealth Avenue, and run along every street in the neighborhood. A very upper class area, the architecture of the area is famous throughout Boston and the world over. There is not very much cultural, socioeconomic, or business diversity, though. Nearly every shop in the area is an upscale clothing store, boutique, or some other kind of upscale shop. The area is graced with very good transit connections. Amtrak, Intercity buses, MBTA Commuter Rail, the MBTA Orange Line, the MBTA Green Line, several frequent and infrequent MBTA Bus Services, and two MBTA Key Bus Routes all serve Back Bay. The area also plays host to very wide sidewalks, Hubway stations, and bike lanes. However, some mixed income development would do everyone in the neighborhood some good.
