Centered around Back Bay, the Fenway, and nearby campuses, 02115 blends historic brownstones with glassy towers and student energy. Stroll Newbury Street and the Prudential Center for boutiques and Eataly, then head to Symphony Hall, Berklee stages, the MFA, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The Back Bay Fens and the Emerald Necklace add gardens and bike paths; springs are crisp, summers warm and humid, winters snowy.

Daily life is highly walkable, with Whole Foods Symphony, Trader Joe’s on Boylston, Star Market in Fenway, coffee at Tatte, Pavement, and Blue Bottle, plus Equinox and CorePower. Nights buzz from Fenway’s bars to relaxed wine spots along Newbury. According to Zillow’s recent market trends, the median asking rent has hovered around $3,700 over the past few months, with most listings roughly $2,800–$5,500+ depending on size and amenities. Expect a mix of students, young professionals, and medical staff, and plenty of green spaces that are friendly for families and leashed pups. Green Line stations at Hynes, Prudential, Symphony, and Fenway make commuting easy.

Galleries, murals, and cultural venues showcase creativity and artistic talent.
