A Walk Around Jamaica Pond

Looking for a condo near the Jamaica Pond?  Jamaica Plain’s finest real estate is just nearby.

It’s hard to believe we live in the City when walking around the Jamaica Pond.  This is one of Boston’s most treasured nature spots, part of the Emerald Necklace designed by Frederick Law Olmstead.  The 1.5 mile walk around takes about 40 minutes, more depending on how many kids are in tow.  Come in any weather and you find a plethora of birds and a diverse group people enjoying the view and walking or jogging on the trail.

The Jamaica Pond allows fishing and sailing in the summer.  You’ll find beautiful Jamaica Plain houses lined across the street on the Jamaicaway.  You can walk to the pond if you live almost anywhere in the Pondside neighborhood of JP, which offers single family houses, condos and two-three family houses.
