199 Massachusetts Ave, Boston

Tucked between the Fens and Northeastern University, this part of East Fenway by Symphony T is full of characteristic Brownstone buildings and walk-ups in addition to music conservatories that feed into this area’s namesake music hall. Historic buildings and new hip retailers combine charm and lifestyle options, to the benefit of locals. This highly walkable area is a favorite of college students studying nearby and those who prefer to commute on foot to the Back Bay. Service on the E line connects you to Longwood hospitals, Downtown and East Cambridge without transfers.
