Charlestown

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Charlestown leans heavily on history and green space: a remarkable 22 parks register here, alongside Foursquare tastes that read like a heritage tour — historic and protected sites, a national park, gastropubs, and coffee shops. A near-perfect 92 walk score makes the whole neighborhood easy to explore on foot. Median rent is on the higher side at about $2,255. The dining footprint is modest — 11 restaurants, 2 coffee shops, and just 1 grocery — so this is a place that trades restaurant density for parks, walkability, and character. AQI is clean at 28 and there's no mapped flood risk. With only one grocery nearby, you'll plan store runs, but the payoff is one of the most park-dense, historically rich, walkable settings in this set.
