Fenway, officially recognized as Fenway–Kenmore by the city of Boston, is one of the city’s most well-known neighborhoods.

Downtown Boston is less than a 4 mile drive from Fenway, and is also easily accessible via public transport.

It’s a very popular area for younger people to live in. Parts of Boston University, Northeastern University, the Berklee College of Music, and the Boston Conservatory of Music are located in Fenway–Kenmore, and many students reside in the neighborhood.

The baseball stadium Fenway Park, home to world-famous the Boston Red Sox, is located immediately south of the Turnpike from Kenmore Square. Fenway boasts plenty of eateries and bars surrounding the stadium, there’s also small, independently-owned shops scattered throughout the neighborhood.

The Fenway real estate market features a mix of the old and the new.

The Fenway area has seen a lot of residential development in recent years, with many new condo buildings popping up throughout the neighborhood.

Tucked away behind the new high-rise buildings are several streets of older brownstone townhouses and five/six-story apartment buildings, typically constructed between 1880 and 1930.

Fenway is one of the last areas where you can still find a small studio or one-bedroom condo under $500,000 in Boston.
