Neighborhood Description Mission Hill is a one square mile neighborhood of approximately 18,000 people in Boston, Massachusetts. The neighborhood is located about one mile from Downtown Crossing and roughly bounded by Columbus Avenue and Roxbury to the east, Longwood Avenue to the northeast and the Olmsted designed Riverway/Jamaicaway and the town of Brookline to the west. It is northernly adjacent to the Boston neighborhood Jamaica Plain. It is served by the MBTA Green Line E Branch and the Orange Line and is within walking distance of the Museum of Fine Arts. "The Hill" overlaps with about half of the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, home to 21 world-class health care, research, education institutions and are responsible for the largest employment area in the City of Boston outside of downtown. Due to these adjacenies, the neighborhood is often struggling with institutional growth taking residential buildings and occupying storefront commercial space. But recent years have seen new retail stores, restaurants and residential development giving the neighborhood a stronger political voice and identity. Mission Hill is an architectural landmark district with a combination of freestanding houses built by early wealthy landowners, blocks of traditional brick rowhouses, and many triple deckers. Many are condominiums, but there are also several two-family and some single-family homes. Up until the late 19th century, much of the area was an orchard and puddingstone quarry with large swaths owned by merchants Franklin G. Dexter, Warren Fisher and Fredrick Ames. By the early 1900s, the hill was covered in triple-deckers. The neighborhood was also home to a large German population and most of the breweries in Boston, many of which are now being converted into loft condominiums.
