One of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods also happens to be one of its most expensive. Welcome to Beacon Hill.
As the home of plenty of past and present Brahmins, the Hill is as stately as they come. The place brims with bricks, cobblestones, and an air of dignity, and features some of the finest examples of Federal and Greek Revival architecture in the city.
While it’s a popular Sunday hangout for people across Boston, Beacon Hill is a familiar sight to folks around the country, too. That’s thanks to dearly beloved Acorn Street. The iconic alleyway holds the title for one of the most-photographed streets in the United States—its image graces countless postcards, paintings, magnets, and so, so many Instagrams.
