Although our Fenway neighborhood is known for Fenway Park, the Fenway Victory Gardens, and its place in the Olmsted Emerald Necklace Park system, it offers much more.
A center for culture and the arts, Fenway hosts the Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, the Gardner Museum, and the Massachusetts Historical Association, among many others.
Universities and colleges include Northeastern University, Berklee College of Music, the New England Conservatory, and the Massachusetts College of Art.
Our neighborhood is walkable, bikeable, and has easy access to green space. Coop members can apply to participate in the Symphony Road Community Garden across the street.
Coop members can find all they need, from necessities to recreation and the arts, within an easy mile from home. This includes food stores, restaurants, cafes, pharmacy, medical care, a post office, and a YMCA.
Transportation includes MBTA access to the Green Line (B/C/D at Hynes; E at Symphony), Orange Line (Mass Ave) and bus (1, 39, 55, CT2); Zipcar, Bluebikes; and good service by taxis, Lyft and Uber.
