Story taken from Renting Boston.
Jamaica Plain is a classic “streetcar suburb” that has evolved into one of Boston’s most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods.
“JP,” as it is commonly known, is an ethnically diverse area home to many young families, Latinos, and a growing gay and lesbian community.
Notable areas include the largely Spanish-speaking regions of Hyde Square and Jackson Square.
The blend of cultures is reflected in the area’s many local businesses. Most of which are found along Centre Street—one of JP’s main thoroughfares.
Residents and visitors enjoy walking, biking, and running along Jamaica Pond situated on the Riverway section of Boston’s Emerald Necklace.
