New Whitney St
"It's diverse and gentrifying quickly"
Little Mission Hill is only 3/4th of a square mile but packs a huge wallop. It is considered one of Boston’s beter zip codes these days, is architecturally interesting and home to a diverse cross section of people - 65% of whom bicycle or walk to work. The area is full of luxury condos right along side student rentals and artists studios. The restaurants and shopping are terrific along Huntington and Tremont, and there are fabulous views of the city so it’s easy to see why everyone loves Mission Hill. Check out Parker Hill where you can see for miles and miles.

"History and diversity lie in this unique neighborhood"
Arguably one of the more diverse neighborhoods in Boston, Mission Hill contains mixed income housing, lots of renovated buildings, and a large community of African American and Hispanic population. Its close proximity to area colleges makes the neighborhood popular with students and young professionals who work in the Longwood Medical area.
The one time I visited this neighborhood was to see the Mission Church, which is a historic masterpiece located about one mile from downtown Boston proper. I noticed a number of traditional brick row houses joined with new condominiums and many of those three decker homes. The neighborhood was rich in character and full of diversity. With a number of college students in the area, the neighborhood is scattered with coffee shops along Huntington Avenue and Tremont Street.
