Great location and huge space

While finishings in the kitchen are old and the floors are parquet, there is a lot of good space to work with. If you value room over upgrades, then this apartment is well worth it. Also an amazing building and location for dogs of any size which can be hard to come by in Boston. There's a small dog park and plenty of pedestrian only walk ways behind the building. Maintenance requests are taken care of same day in most cases! One negative is that while there is a swimming pool available for use, you have to buy a pool pass ($300 per apt) each year.

About West End

West End is one of the smaller neighborhoods of Boston, blending both the old with the new. Early in its history, West End was typically left behind in attracting residents. This is far from the case today. West End is now dominated by modern high rises and vibrant social hubs scattered throughout ...

Reviewed by New England Law Student living at The Towers at Longfellow
The Longfellow Towers are very close to 5 different train lines which makes it a very walkable area. There are lots of restaurants and bars close by, TD Garden one block over and two grocery stores within a couple of blocks. The Thoreau Path (walking trail) is directly out the back door of the buildings and leads to the Esplanade by the Charles River. From this location, anywhere in downtown Boston is within a 1 mile walk, and most less than that.
Reviewed by Babson College Student living at Emerson Place
It is a very residential area which I like. I find it safe and calm but access to grocery stores, cafes and public transportation are very easy.

Expensive but good part of town. Needs a better grocery store nearby, otherwise no complaints! Great place to live. Roommates exceptional.

My experience in the West End has been great so far - especially for purposes of traveling to school. My walk to campus is roughly one mile - which takes about 20 minutes to walk. Sometimes the neighborhood is especially busy on nights where there are events at the TD Garden.

Close to public transit, close to work, close to the hospital, in a very active and social part of Boston.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Emerson Place
The neighborhood is right next to the Charles River and Beacon Hill, two wonderful areas in Boston. The only grocery stores nearby are fairly expensive however.
