Getting Around Jamaica Plain offers rapid transit on the Orange Line, frequent buses, protected bike paths, and a dense Centre Street corridor daily errands and commutes stay simple.

The Neighborhood Many consider Jamaica Plain the most diverse neighborhood in Boston, its population representing a tapestry of nationalities and cultures as the old bumper sticker says, "There's Nothing Plain About Jamaica Plain."

The Arnold Arboretum, established in 1872, is the oldest public arboretum in North America a 281-acre National Historic Landmark with more than 16,000 plants in its living collection, famous for its annual Lilac Sunday each May. Jamaica Pond, an ancient kettle pond and part of Boston's Emerald Necklace, is encircled by a 1.3-mile path for walkers, joggers, and birdwatchers, and hosts outdoor concerts, non-motorized boating, and the annual Lantern Festival. Forest Hills Cemetery, one of the country's premier garden cemeteries, is a stunning and peaceful landmark right at the end of the street. The dining scene directly at your doorstep is outstanding. Brassica Kitchen + Cafe, a James Beard award-nominated restaurant, sits right across from Forest Hills Station known for destination-worthy weekend brunch, spirulina-spiked drinks, and a lively open kitchen with an endearingly ad-hoc parking-lot patio. Third Cliff Bakery, also on Washington Street between Green Street and Forest Hills, has a cult following for its crispy croissants in flavors like Kimchi Cheddar and Guava Cream Cheese, along with Coconut Cold Brew and fluffy Milk Bread loaves. The Dogwood Cafe, right next to Forest Hills Station, is a beloved neighborhood pub with a warm fireplace, dark wood interior, cozy back patio, and a scratch menu that goes well beyond typical bar fare. Centre Street's dining corridor runs the full length of JP, with Tres Gatos a cozy restaurant that doubles as a book and record store among the neighborhood's most distinctive spots. The Footlight Club on Eliot Street, the oldest continuously-running community theatre in the United States, is also right in the neighborhood.
