About Boston

Boston is one of the world's greatest cities, as well as one of America's oldest. As represented by its Freedom Trail, and other points of historical interest, early Bostonians were amongst the most important founders of American democratic principles as we know them today.

Established in 1630, Boston has evolved from gas lamps and horse-drawn carriages to a city on the cutting edge of educational, technological and cultural opportunities. "Beantown" offers a large city conveniences, despite its relatively small size, and its nearly 600,000 residents have access to some of the most prestigious museums, libraries and schools. Sports, theatre, music and fine arts is always just moments away for the Boston resident. And you're never far from water or beaches.

Boston a serves as a gateway to the New England area, from Cape Cod to Maine. With its Logan International airport, Boston also serves as a gateway to the world!

If you're considering moving to a surrounding Boston area city or town, consider Braintree, Cambridge, Dorchester, Brookline, Quincy, Newton, Milton, Marblehead and Salem.
