Jamaica Plain, Boston MA
Nestled between Brookline and Roxbury lies one of Boston’s most diverse neighborhoods. Surrounded by the Emerald Necklace, Arnold Arboretum, Franklin Park, and Jamaica Pond, the place locals call “JP” is a hotspot for shoppers, foodies, and nature-lovers alike. Actively preserving their local charms and Victorian architecture, lush parks, and vibrant local businesses, residents are continually fending off gentrification and chain takeovers. A dense and lively residential neighborhood, JP is widely recognized for its slew of independent shops and welcoming atmosphere to residents and visitors.
Jamaica Plain is known to have inclusive energy and an active embrace of diversity. The number of young professionals choosing this neighborhood as their own is actively growing, as well as the immigrant and the LGBTQ population.
The mixing pot of residents is known for its warm demeanor toward residents and visitors. No matter who you are, you are sure to feel welcome in Jamaica Plain.
Appeal
Many find JP appealing for its thriving small businesses and a strong sense of community. “Supporting local” comes as second nature to residents, and each business contributes to the town’s lively foundation. If pubs and craft beer are not your scene, there are plenty of parks, playgrounds, and ice cream shops (such as the famous JP Licks), which add to Jamaica Plain’s family-friendly status. Parking in Jamaica Plain is more accessible than in Downtown Boston, and several public transit options are available including the Orange Line subway which runs through the heart of JP.
Unique Aspect
Not only is Jamaica Plain close to the city, but also fulfills residents’ need for nature with its abundant green space. Along with a string of parks that encircle the town like a wreath, Jamaica Plain is home to several jewels in Boston’s Emerald Necklace. Many are drawn to Jamaica Plain because of its rare balance of open space with a vibrant, urban setting.
