Downtown
Downtown Boston is located on a peninsula that juts into Inner Boston Harbor, with the Charles River beginning at the North End. This area is primarily commercial and retail with few residential buildings. There are some beautiful apartment buildings with occasional turnover. Just minutes from the Common, Beacon Hill, and Faneuil Hall, the convenience can’t be beat. Also, in this area is the colorful Chinatown community with it’s pagoda telephone kiosks and trademark Chinese Gate. Downtown has just completed the final stages of a massive change known as the Big Dig. It is the largest municipal project in the country’s history where the above-ground highway, I-93, was rebuilt underneath the city, thus opening up a new space, The Greenway. This has added retail and office space and making the city that much more beautiful.
