Getting to Know the Neighborhood

In order to appreciate the true value of a home, an assessment of what’s nearby must be considered. The northernmost neighborhood in the city of Boston, Orient Heights captures a true mix of city-suburban feel.  

There’s no shortage of local services and amenities within walking distance of the Tess. First and foremost, 946 Saratoga Street sits just 0.2 miles from Constitution Beach and 0.3 miles from the Orient Heights Blue Line station. The combination of beach access and rapid transit (aka subway) access are luxuries that very few Boston residents can boast.

Unlike the vast majority of neighborhoods throughout Boston, Orient Heights has a number of parks and green spaces located within a very small vicinity. The Tess is abutted by Noyes Playground, a 8.31 acre park that the city of Boston spent $4.7M to improve in 2019. A brand new turf soccer field and a baseball and softball diamond offer more free range than city folks are used to.

In terms of food, East Boston packs a punch. Whether it’s Luna’s, Milano’s Delicatessen, Angela’s Cafe or New Saigon, the neighborhood offers a taste of just about every type of cuisine all within a very short walking distance. If you’re looking to get out of the neighborhood, you’re just a quick 15 minute trip via public transit to Rino’s Place or 18 minutes to Santarpio’s.
