Jamaica Plain

Jamaica Plain is a diverse, tight-knit neighborhood with serene Green spaces. Trails loop around Jamaica Pond and through the vast Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, both links in the Emerald Necklace chain of parks. Family-owned restaurants, indie shops and snug bars dot Centre Street. Latin American eateries are clustered around Hyde Square. Forest Hills Cemetery, noted for its landscaping, dates from 1848.
