When you think about the North End of Boston, some of the finest Italian restaurants and bakeries in New England come to mind. Originally populated by an enclave of Italian immigrants, today the North End is alive with a vibrant population with a strong sense of Italian ancestry.

The North End is also home to Paul Revere, and is froth with history. The area is made up primarily by a maze of narrow streets with brick rowhouse style homes, surrounded by Commercial Street, which gives residents access to Boston’s Waterfront, and houses some of Boston’s newest, and most expensive, real estate. Residents and visitors can also enjoy strolling and relaxing in the newly renovated Christopher Columbus Park, and during summer evenings, the park is host to a performing arts series.
