This weekend's open house tour highlights what makes Jamaica Plain so appeal to homeowners and house hunters. We're guessing it's the neighborhood's perfect blend of modern amenities and old charm. The proximity to the T and to downtown Boston probably doesn't hurt, never mind the nearness of the Arnold Arboretum and Franklin Park.
Each of these homes is under $650,000, too, practically a steal for such a prime location in Boston. Go. It's supposed to be beautiful out this weekend.
