Recently renovated one bedroom with Central AC, nice private patio with hot tub and full parking space. Kitchen is long and on the narrow side, but could still likely fit a smaller table.

Columbus, located between Back Bay and the South End, is a residential and commercial Boston neighborhood with a broad boulevard streetscape and a strong transit spine. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Columbus Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue crossroads, where cafes, small restaurants, and storefront services line the sidewalks under steady foot traffic. Community pillars include Symphony Hall, the Huntington Theatre Company, and the Boston Center for the Arts. Brick rowhouses and mid-rise buildings frame tree-lined blocks that shift quickly into cultural corridors. The Southwest Corridor Park threads green space alongside the Orange Line, linking commutes with running and biking paths. Restaurant rows along Tremont Street and Columbus Avenue keep the evenings active without feeling flashy.
