Location

A Neighborhood Apart in the Heart of it All

McNamara House is located in a safe, residential neighborhood that is both inclusive and connected to everything. For life’s essentials, a supermarket and pharmacy are just beyond your door, with other shops and services easily within reach.

You can head down to the nearby Charles River to enjoy the bike paths, splash in the Artesani Playground wading pool, or enjoy live entertainment during the warmer months at the Herter Park Ampitheater. Pop over to the Allston branch of the Boston Public Library or meet a friend for lunch at one of several area restaurants.

If you want to explore beyond your neighborhood, it couldn’t be easier. A five-minute walk takes you to the new Boston Landing MBTA Commuter Rail Station, enabling you to be in downtown Boston in a matter of minutes. If Cambridge or Somerville is your destination, you are just a few blocks away from the MBTA bus line.

At the end of your journey, you will look forward to returning to the quiet comfort of your apartment or joining in on the spirited social interaction of the McNamara House community room.
