Commonwealth, located between Kenmore Square and Cleveland Circle, is a residential and academic Boston neighborhood with a grand boulevard and a linear park median. Commonwealth Avenue’s tree-lined Mall concentrates the area’s rhythm, where runners, dog walkers, and cyclists pass rows of brownstones and stately apartment buildings. The CITGO sign at Kenmore Square and the sweep of Commonwealth Avenue frame a streetscape of brick, bay windows, and stoops. Cultural pillars include the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Symphony Hall, and the Museum of Fine Arts. Green Line stops stitch together cafés, small restaurants, and campus edges along the avenue.
