| Living Here |
Beacon Hill, located in the heart of downtown Boston, favors pedestrian and public transit (MBTA) over other forms of getting around and to and from the neighborhood. However, we almost all need to use a car sometimes, and many choose to keep one on the street. Thanks to the hard work of committed BHCA Traffic & Parking Committee members, Beacon Hill has both resident permit parking as well as garage facilities at residents’ and visitors’ disposal. Please be sure to follow all street signage carefully to respect street cleaning and snow removal requirements.
The residential density and close confines of our neighborhood necessitate careful attention to trash disposal regulations and the curbside recycling programs offered by the City.
Beacon Hill is architecturally distinct, historically venerable and socially vibrant for all ages, from families with children to elders still enjoying a downtown life. With parks and playgrounds surrounding our streets, dogs are a welcome part of the fabric, as long as city rules for their ownership and care are followed.
With a well-earned reputation for safety, Beacon Hill residents and visitors are still advised to remain alert to their surroundings, particularly after dark, and to report serious incidents to the Boston Police.
