Today, Beacon Hill maintains its original luxurious status, and its property listings have dollar signs to prove this.

Walking along the secluded streets of Beacon Hill feels like jumping into an 18th Century English romance film. The city's amazing colonial roots and modern cultural diversity make it a desirable place to call home.
 
Thanks to its small size, Beacon Hill is ranked as the most walkable neighborhood in the city. The Hill's steep and narrow streets discourage traffic noise, thus giving residents ample opportunity to think and explore their creative side. And as quaint and peaceful as this neighborhood is, it's only a 10-minute walk from the busy Theatre District.

The neighborhood is home to favored restaurants, such as 75 Chesnut, Moo Beacon Hill, and more. Beacon Hill Books & Cafe is another favored location.

Things to Do

State House is right across the Boston Common, beautifully overlooking the city. Within these walls, the law is made, and tours are offered. Free State House Tours are offered Monday through Friday between 10:00 am and 3:30 pm. 
 
Also, save some time to visit Boston Common, the oldest city park in the country, located in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. This historical park is more than a green oasis in a large city - it represents an ancient landscape that belonged to Bostonians since 1634. Boston Common is one of the most popular attractions in Boston for relaxing and appreciating nature. 
 
Halloween is a huge thing in Beacon Hill. The neighborhood transforms itself for Halloween celebrations with lots of elaborate decorations and hoards of treaters in outstanding costumes. Beacon Hill with a Boo! tour has been a central part of Beacon Hill Halloween celebrations for more than 30 years.
