Back Bay

Back Bay

Modeled on the grand Parisian boulevards and tree-lined avenues, the Back Bay is the epitome of high-end, nouveau riche luxury with its well-preserved blocks of French Second Empire row-houses and brownstones, its tree-lined, statue-studded pedestrian/dog walkway down Commonwealth Avenue Mall, and its rich cultural offerings in and near Copley Square, including the Boston Public Library, Trinity Church, the Kingsley Montessori School, Commonwealth School, Boston Architectural College and the Berkley College of Music. Fifth Avenue-style shopping and dining is in abundance along Boylston Street and in the Prudential Center. Newbury Street’s chic boutiques, cafes and art galleries attract crowds as well.e
