Brief Description

The Fenway neighborhood of Boston is practically synonymous with the World Champion Boston Red Sox. During home games, this area is overrun with members of Red Sox Nation. But the neighborhood includes much more than just Fenway Park--it's made up a residential district, areas for shopping and other entertainment venues beyond the ballpark, like the Boston Pops Orchestra.

Homeownership is particularly minimal in the Fenway area--just 7%, the lowest number in the city. However, new zoning laws passed in 2004 have led to a building boom introducing Landmark Center and the Trilogy apartments and shopping complex. In 10 years, Fenway will be the place to live chock full of shops and eateries, like Canestaro's and Church.

History

The Fenway is reclaimed land from the Back Bay Fens, a generally swampy area that existed at the confluence of the Muddy River, Stony Brook and Charles River. In the 1880s Boston embarked on its great park-building scheme directed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The great landscape architect engineered this area into a picturesque ideal.
You thought the alphabetical streets named for British peers ended with Hereford Street in the Back Bay? Nope, they continue on into the Fenway area: Ipswich Street, Jersey Street and Kilmarnock Street are next in the sequence.

While the Kenmore Station on the green-line T is the stop of choice for Red Sox Nation, the neighborhood boasts alternative drop offs like the green line Fenway Station stop and the commuter rail Yawkey Station that drops off passengers right behind Fenway Park.
