This is easily the best location for apartments in the Back Bay, on Commonwealth Ave at the Common, It is smack next to the Taj (formerly The Ritz) and directly across from the stunning Public Gardens.  This is Boston’s wealthiest and most dynamic neighborhood where you will be neighbors with Stephen King, Peter Lynch, and Ted Kennedy.  Boston’s own Fifth Avenue, Newbury St, is literally 2 steps away.  If you want to get out there and get more exercise you will be a five minute walk to the Esplanade and, of course, you’ll have the Commonwealth Ave Mall as your front yard.  There is free resident on-street parking. If you prefer the shelter of garage parking, there are several within walking distance which offer 24 hour parking and fantastic, affordable reverse commute rates.
