Why Live in Boston's Jamaica Plain?
Jamaica Plain is one of Boston's most diverse and multi-faceted neighborhoods containing an array of smaller communities that all love "JP" for a different reason. Comprised of families, artists, college & graduate students, recent transplants of all nationalities and life-long residents, JP is known for its amazing collection of parks & ponds, its casual, innovative restaurants, and its warm local vibe. With an incredible collection of well-maintained and unique greenspaces, residents enjoy all-season recreation at the (60-acre) Jamaica Pond, the Franklin Park Zoo, and the famous Arnold Arboretum (managed by Harvard University) to name a few. With many transportation options and easy street parking, residents bike, drive or take the T or the bus if they need to access other areas of Boston.
Emerging Jamaica Plain Real Estate Trends:
Consisting of many "micro-communities," Jamaica Plain is home to a large collection of students, artists, recent immigrants, working professionals, and families who have all discovered that the area encompasses almost every type of architectural style and living option you could imagine - with a range of price points from $100,000 to $1 million+. From grand, historic single- family homes bordering the Jamaica Pond and the Jamaicaway to a large inventory of multi-family properties offering spacious floorplans at affordable price points, Jamaica Plain residents happily co-exist in an urban & suburban blend of living styles. In the midst of the recent renovation wave that swept over Boston in the last decade, some great developments took shape in Jamaica Plain, including the American Brewery Lofts, a restoration of a former brewery as new residential condo lofts; CityGreen, a condo development on Green Street by the Orange Line T Stop; and the innovative non-profit Jackson Square development's 11-acre "green" environmentally-friendly plan meant to set the national bar for urban, green, residential community development.
