Jamaica Plain: Brewery District Turned Neighborhood
Jamaica Plain, known locally as JP, sits between the Arborway and the Southwest Corridor in the southern part of Boston. The neighborhood was once the center of Boston's brewing industry, with the Haffenreffer, Rueter, and other breweries operating along the Stony Brook in the late 1800s. Samuel Adams revived the connection when the Boston Beer Company established a brewery on Germania Street in 1988. The brewery offers tours and remains a neighborhood anchor.
Centre Street runs through the neighborhood as its main commercial strip, with restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and small retailers occupying storefronts in a continuous line from Jackson Square to the Monument. The JP community has long been one of Boston's most politically active and progressive neighborhoods, with strong tenant organizing traditions and an LGBTQ community that established roots here in the 1970s and 1980s.
Jamaica Pond, a 68-acre glacial kettle pond managed by the City of Boston, provides a 1.5-mile walking loop, boating, and fishing. The Arnold Arboretum, managed by Harvard University, covers 281 acres on the neighborhood's southeastern edge and contains one of the largest collections of temperate-climate trees and shrubs in North America. The Orange Line's Green Street, Stony Brook, and Jackson Square stations serve the neighborhood.
The Southwest Corridor Park, a linear park built on the right-of-way of a cancelled highway project, runs through the eastern edge of JP alongside the Orange Line. The corridor provides playing fields, community gardens, and a walking path from Back Bay to Forest Hills. The Forest Hills MBTA station at the neighborhood's southern end serves as a bus hub connecting JP to points south and west. The neighborhood's housing stock ranges from large Victorian-era houses to smaller triple-deckers and newer condo conversions.
The Brewery Complex, a cluster of buildings along Amory and Heath Streets, has been converted to artist studios, offices, and community space. The Samuel Adams brewery on Germania Street continues to operate and provides tours. The JP community has historically been at the forefront of Boston's affordable housing activism, and several community land trusts and affordable housing developments operate in the neighborhood. Canary Square and Hyde Square, along Centre Street, have a strong Dominican presence reflected in the restaurants and shops.
