The beacon on the hill that used to alert settlers about foreign invasions is long gone, and today Beacon Hill is a close-knit community in a downtown location. Beacon Hill's cobblestone streets and brick row houses directly border the Boston Common and the breathtaking Public Garden. As one of Boston's oldest neighborhoods, Beacon Hill offers exceptional examples of Colonial, Federal and Revival styles of traditional Boston architecture and expansive green space. Beacon Hill is nearly all residential, but Charles Street offers fine antique stores, grocers, boutiques and superb cuisine. Select desired details for your Beacon Hill real estate and condo needs.
