"A really up and coming neighborhood"

The little neighborhood of Magoun Square is shaped like a triangle. It's eastern tip at Broadway and Medford is where the actual square is found. Magoun Square itself is also a little controversial.
There have been plans afoot to revitalize it to be more of a central shopping district for the neighborhood but after a few false starts, it is due to be completely renovated starting in Spring 2010.

Magoun Square is a popular area with young professionals so it has a type of youthful feel to it.
It's up and coming yet hasn't gotten so expensive that you can't find a deal. It still has that working class, tight knit feel to it. The bars and restaurants are worth checking out and Lil Vinny's is the best Italian food outside of the North End.
