Allston

A vibrant and eclectic neighborhood with a diverse population.

Welcome to Allston

Allston is a vibrant and eclectic neighborhood with a diverse population, a lively music scene, and a unique blend of cultural influences. It is home to a large student population thanks to its proximity to Boston University and Boston College.

The epicenter of the neighborhood is Harvard and Brighton Avenues, which is home to many ethnic restaurants and popular bars. The neighborhood is serviced by both the Mass Pike and the Green Line B, which runs along Commonwealth Avenue between BU and BC.

Lower Allston, or LA as many locals call it, is the section of Allston that is North of the Mass Pike. This area is abutting Boston Landing to the South and the Harvard University expansion to the North.

Boston Landing houses the New Balance headquarters as well as practice facilities for both the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics.

Harvard University’s expansion encompasses nearly 2,000,000 square feet of new and renovated space including new buildings at Harvard Business School, a hotel and conference center as well as graduate student housing.

Allston is a popular choice for renters and investors, and many former commercial and underutilized residential buildings are making way for much-needed new multi-family and mixed-use developments including the highly anticipated Allston Square.
