An old streetcar suburb, Jamaica Plain now supports all modes of transportation and is easily accessible by car, train, bike, and foot. A diverse range of families and professionals are drawn to this neighborhood for its plentiful parks, colorful homes, and eclectic mix of shops and restaurants.

Jamaica Plain is great, too, for buyers who enjoy the outdoors but crave city living. This weekend’s open house tour features just a sampling of homes available for sale, each with private outdoor space and/or access to parks and natural vistas.
