Boston Communities
Boston is an exceptionally diverse city because of the stark differences in the neighborhoods of the city. Many of the city’s neighborhoods and communities are often mistaken as separate cities. Each of the neighborhoods has its unique charm that comes from its combination of cultures, populations, food, languages and even the sports they play.
Despite the differences in how they look, communities in Boston seem exceptionally friendly and Bostonians are fiercely protective about them. These communities have good transportation, schools and hospital facilities. These facilities are maintained by the government as well as local community authorities.
Official records show that there are 21 neighborhoods in the city and every one of these communities have so many things to offer a visitor. From the ritzy Downtown (or Financial District) to the alluring Mission Hill, the city has the finest architecture, food, and parks. Other popular communities include Allston, Brighton, Black Bay, Beacon Hill, Charlestown, Chinatown, Dorchester and many others.
Like many of the other cities in the country, Boston is a multiracial society with people from all races represented equally. These include Whites, Hispanics, Native Americans, African Americans, Asians, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders, all in varying compositions. There are also people with European ancestry and in this regard, Ireland and Italy have the largest representation. With the profusion of culture, one sees that the city of Boston has more than enough interesting sites and events to offer.
