Back Bay

Why go

Back Bay makes its case through the repeating bay windows and stone facades along residential blocks. Notice that detail first at Back Bay. Afterward, compare it with the axis from Copley Square toward the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. The pairing at Back Bay explains a planned nineteenth-century neighborhood known for brownstones and broad avenues. Choose Back Bay when those features fit your interests.
