Mission Hill is, as you've probably guessed, on a hill - the
highest hill in Boston - which is fun and adds character to our neighborhood.
And as you can see on the map, our location is great. It's quick
in-town by bus, Greenline or Orangeline T, and quick out of town via Route 9 and the Mass Pike west, or I-95 and I-93 north
or south.

You can walk to shops and restaurants, colleges and universities, our branch library, the Museum
of Fine Arts, and Fenway Park. The new $40 Million One Brigham Circle community retail center is steps away with a brand new
Stop & Shop, Walgreens, banks, restaurants and other retail businesses. One Brigham Circle represents a huge success for
our community planning and development process.
Mission Hill is an historic neighborhood grounded by the rock solid architecture of the Mission
Church. The church and most residential buildings were built between 1850 and 1900 to serve German and Irish immigrants. Today
our diverse community is still home to two and three generations of 'born and raised' families, while at the same time attracting
young professionals, working families, college students, and medical professionals from the nearby Harvard Medical School
area on Longwood Avenue.
