Centered on Boston’s Fenway–Kenmore, 02215 blends urban energy with green space: Fenway Park, the Back Bay Fens of the Emerald Necklace, and paths connecting to the Charles River make weekend runs, picnics, and pick-up games easy. Expect four true seasons—snowy winters, breezy springs, warm, humid summers, and colorful falls. The vibe skews student-and–young-professional with a strong medical/academic presence, yet it’s pet friendly and surprisingly park-rich. Daily needs are a stroll away: Trader Joe’s and Star Market at 401 Park/Landmark, Target, coffee at Tatte and Pavement, dining at Time Out Market, Sweet Cheeks, Hojoko, and Citizen, plus House of Blues and Lansdowne Street for nightlife; fitness options include Life Time Fenway and CorePower. Transit is excellent via the MBTA Green Line (Kenmore, Fenway) and frequent buses, with quick access to Storrow Drive and I‑90. Zillow’s recent market trends show a median monthly rent in the mid-$3,000s, with most listings ranging roughly from the high $2,000s to upper $4,000s depending on size and amenities.

Fast-paced city living with endless options for dining, shopping, and culture.
