Jamaica Plain Real Estate

About Jamaica Plain MA

The community of Jamaica Plain lies at the southern most area of Boston, south of Brookline. It is centered at the intersection of Arbor Way and Centre Street. Centre street is the commercial hub of the community. In the late 1700s, wealthy Bostonians came here and built resort homes around Jamaica Pond.

Some call it a streetcar suburb as the streetcar system was extended to the region in the 1870s. Jamaica Plain borders a number of big parks and golf courses. In decades past, it was a depressed area where crime and poverty were evident. However, the quality of life is rising fast and real estate values have risen correspondingly. Most businesses in the community are neighborhood services such as grocery and convenience stores, beauty salons, laundromats, and restaurants. The area has significant numbers of Hispanic residents including many from Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Approximately 60% of residents are black with 22% white and 10% of Hispanic origin.

There are a number of housing development projects on the go, some sponsored by the Boston Redevelopment Authority and Department of Neighborhood Development, which are agencies of the City of Boston.

Areas south of Boston and in South Boston are in high demand. Government sponsored development programs are helping to convert these older neighborhoods into highly livable areas for young professionals and families. The popularity of this ongoing development of South Boston and other communities in the area including Jamaica Plain, Brookline, Roxbury, Dorchester, City Point, Dorchester Heights, Savin Hill, and Uphams Corner among others, is creating a new demand for housing in greater Boston.
