Boston’s Hidden Gem of Historic Charm
Bay Village is one of Boston’s smallest and most intimate neighborhoods, often described as a miniature Beacon Hill. Nestled between the South End and Back Bay, this pocket-sized enclave features narrow streets lined with early 19th-century brick rowhouses.
Originally home to artisans who built Beacon Hill, Bay Village retains much of its historic character with gas lamps, brick sidewalks, and a village-like atmosphere that feels worlds away from the surrounding urban bustle.
