About East
Fenway
East Fenway, located between Back Bay and Kenmore Square, is a residential and cultural Boston neighborhood with landmark museums and park-edge streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Huntington Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue corridor, where museum steps, concert crowds, and café patios meet a steady stream of students and commuters. Brick rowhouses and mid-rise apartments sit beside institutional architecture tied to the city’s arts campus. The Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Symphony Hall act as daily anchors for exhibitions, performances, and late-night curtain calls. The Emerald Necklace’s Fenway paths and the Fens’ open lawns shape the walking rhythm. Green Line stops and bike lanes keep the streets active well past gallery hours.
