Who’s Who in Boston and what can I do around this place?

Let’s face it guys, when moving to a new area we kind of want to know what the neighborhood is like – demographics and census info, local jobs, local shops & restaurants, schools,  etc. Basically you want to know who’s who’s and what you can do around your new home.

Whether you’re looking at Boston city-wide or at a specific neighborhood like the Back Bay or South End, there are a few excellent resources online for you to do your research:

• City of Boston “My Neighborhood” Census Mapper – a very cool interactive map that lets you find census and demographic data down to individual block detail
• Walkscore – Enter any address and it will give you a walkability score as well as show you just about everything nearby from shops to schools
• Great Schools – Comprehensive site that allows you to see school data in any town or neighborhood, from preschool to high school
