There's no doubt Back Bay is expensive. As a resident who bought our condo many years ago (and thus technically cheaper than for new arrivals), I can attest to the magnificent benefits of the location. Boston is the most walkable city in the US--museums, sports, plays, concerts, historical sites, and great restaurants are available without a car from this (and other) neighborhood. In short, it's comfortable and convenient IF you can afford it.
Hi @Smcolw Absolutely, Back Bay really offers the best of Boston with its walkability and proximity to so many great attractions! It’s definitely a prime location for those who can afford it. The convenience of living close to museums, restaurants, and historical sites is unmatched. Thanks for sharing your perspective as a resident it’s a great reminder of how much this area has to offer!
Hi @EricSteinert4953 Haha, you make a great point! A backyard with a dog definitely beats the hustle and bustle of city life. While Back Bay has its charm, sometimes the practicality of a quiet space for your pup and a bit more room to breathe wins out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hi @VanessaCostadosSantos7155 Back Bay is definitely pricey, and parking can be a challenge! But if you’re willing to deal with that, the location is unbeatable. It's one of the most iconic neighborhoods in Boston, with beautiful brownstones, tons of shopping on Newbury Street, and easy access to the Charles River for walks or runs. Plus, you're close to all kinds of cultural spots like museums, theaters, and restaurants. If you love a lively, walkable neighborhood, it’s a fantastic place to live!
I understand your concerns. Every city has its challenges, and Boston is no exception. It’s important to address these issues to improve community conditions. If you have specific questions or need information on particular areas, feel free to ask
I live in Boston and the Back BAY is a total waste of time, all the shops are high end. The is nothing for the average joe at all, The library she talks about is a homeless shelter outside and inside. Its impossible park anywhere since they put bike lanes everywhere. It clogged with traffic and migrants, on fast mopeds delivering dinners to the rich. It only the rich and the homeless the art scene is a joke. The rats are everywhere in the alleys, how about a 6 dollar coffee. Go shove it .....
Hi @daylight3621 I get where you’re coming from. Back Bay has definitely become high-end, which can make it tough for the average person to enjoy. Thanks for sharing your perspective; it’s always helpful to hear what locals experience day-to-day in the city!
@@kimberleemeserve The back bay since its all about the rich and not the middle class is out of touch, the artists have all left long ago, so this second Gilded age can pretend everything is OK when its clearly not the case. Sure they live in a high class ghetto but that isolation comes at a cost for Boston and the USA. In the 1970's condos in the Back Bay sold for 25k now it absurdly high, it lacks a vision on where the future is because the economic collapse of most American will not continue forever. The wealthy at some point will see the bad moon rising and leave.

Nice. Feels kind of like Lincoln Park, here in Chicago. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching 👍
I'd rather live in the burbs and visit the city when I feel like it
I often wondered where people do grocery shopping in the city.
Some people drive out of the city to do shopping but others go to the stores right in the city. There’s a Star Market and a Trader Joe’s in Back Bay
There’s a Whole Foods right between Huntington and Boylston just off of Mass Ave too. 2 blocks from the Symphony T stop.
good luck with parking
Thank you for watching 👍
I grew up in J.P. Boston is such old hat to me. Newcomers, eat your heart out.....
Thank you for watching 👍
Thank you for watching 👍
Who's going to pay those insane property taxes.
Thank you for watching 👍
A back yard with a dog wins out every time. Let the tourists wander through their movie set. Back bay is as impractical as it gets!

Boston - A few nice blocks which are tremendously overpriced in a boring , provincial town....
