About Back Bay

East

Back Bay East, located between Arlington Street and Massachusetts Avenue, is a historic and upscale Boston neighborhood with Victorian brownstones and a polished retail corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Newbury Street at Berkeley Street, where gallery storefronts, independent boutiques, and sidewalk cafes set a steady, street-level rhythm. Architectural details read in rows of brick townhouses, wrought-iron stoops, and the formal grid laid over former tidal flats. The Boston Public Library’s McKim Building and Trinity Church frame nearby Copley Square as a cultural compass. The Esplanade and Commonwealth Avenue Mall add long, linear green space for walking and cycling. Dining and shopping cluster along Newbury and Boylston, while quieter blocks turn residential behind the main avenues.
