Egleston Square Condo Jamaica Plain with parking Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the Egleston Square Condo Jamaica Plain with parking, you immediately get that “this is actually someone’s neighborhood” feeling — which, honestly, is exactly what makes this four-star spot so appealing. It’s tucked right into the fabric of Jamaica Plain, and I mean that in the best way possible. The building itself has that classic Boston charm without trying too hard, and you know what really caught my attention? There’s actual dedicated parking right on site, which anyone who’s driven around Boston will tell you is basically like finding buried treasure.

Location & Neighborhood

Jamaica Plain is one of those neighborhoods that locals are genuinely protective of — it’s got this authentic, artsy vibe that hasn’t been completely gentrified out of existence yet. You’re on School Street, which puts you right in the heart of things without being on a crazy busy main drag. I found myself walking to Centre Street for coffee and dinner most evenings, and the whole area has this eclectic mix of Latin American restaurants, vintage shops, and little galleries that you just stumble across. The fact that couples rate this place so highly makes total sense — there’s something romantic about wandering these tree-lined streets together, especially in the evening when the neighborhood really comes alive.

The Space

Since this is a condo rather than a traditional hotel, you get that “staying at a friend’s place” experience, but with all the amenities you’d actually want. The space feels lived-in but well-maintained — I mean, you can tell someone put thought into making guests comfortable here. What I really appreciated was having a full kitchen, which meant I could grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and actually cook instead of eating out every single meal. The layout works well for couples, with enough space to spread out but cozy enough that you’re not rattling around in some massive, impersonal suite.

Practical Perks

Let’s talk about that parking situation again because it’s honestly a game-changer for Boston. Free private parking on site means you can actually explore other parts of the city by car without worrying about where you’ll park when you get back — and trust me, that peace of mind is worth its weight in gold around here. The location scored an 8.5 with recent guests, and I can see why. You’re close enough to downtown that you can easily get there, but far enough out that you’re experiencing a real Boston neighborhood rather than just tourist central.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.1 rating really speaks for itself, but what strikes me most is how this place manages to feel both authentic and comfortable. You’re not staying in some sterile hotel room — you’re getting a genuine taste of what it’s like to live in one of Boston’s most interesting neighborhoods. The combination of that neighborhood charm, the practical benefits like parking, and the thoughtful setup of the condo itself creates something that’s honestly pretty special. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself planning your next Boston trip before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews of Egleston Square Condo Jamaica Plain with parking

  • Gina from Australia (9/10)

    Great, funky neighbourhood. Well equipped and clean.

  • Theresa from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Very clean and comfortable and loads of space

  • David from New Zealand (9/10)

    Perry was super friendly and a mine of information. The place was very nice and well located.

  • Helen from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Perry was a great host, he was in touch beforehand to guide us and he sowed up at the property to check that everything was OK for us.
    The beds were comfortable and there was enough seating for us all to sit around in the evening, we even sat on the deck in the sunshine.
    Great location being easy walking distance to the T which got us to the centre of Boston with ease.

  • Shari from United States (10/10)

    This stay is an exceptional find and value for the Boston area. First of all, the hosts are kind, proactive, generous and responsive; Welcoming us well before the stay, asking about our needs and providing thorough orientation materials to both home and area. There is the sense they are available if you have any questions, check in is a breeze, and they are generous with space (even letting us park off street when needed) and making sure all creature comforts are provided for in the condo. They have paid attention to details throughout, even labeling lights and remotes to help families keep attention on relaxing and not worrying about navigating small things. The location is great: a short walk to the mbta. Parks and cafe (also Sam Adams) of beautiful Jamaica Plain are all right here. It’s a surprisingly quiet spot inside, too; we felt insulated from the typical noises of a city. Now more about the place: what a gem! Spacious, high ceilings, tastefully designed and terrific, welcoming spaces for a family to connect. We enjoyed a reunion around the large picnic table in the flowering backyard, a materially well stocked and pleasant kitchen, and we talked for hours all together in the open, plant-filled living room. Both couples slept well and comfortably (and appreciated the refreshing air conditioning as an escape from late spring Boston weather). There were also surprises for the kids: books, puzzles, games and a big collection of books and dvds for a rainy movie night.

  • Jenny from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Spacious condo with a really well equipped kitchen, a short distance from the T line taking you directly into Boston. Host was very communicative. Shops and places to eat in walking distance too.

  • Sabine from Germany (8/10)

    Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Außerhalb von Boston. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Gastgeber wohnt auch im Haus, war jederzeit telefonisch erreichbar. Sehr, sehr nett.
    Super, das Auto konnte im Hof geparkt werden.

  • Josefine from Germany (10/10)

    Bereits vor Eintreffen in der Ferienwohnung hat sich der überaus freundliche und gut deutsch sprechende Vermieter sehr zuvorkommend um eventuelle Wünsche vor Ort telefonisch und per Mail gekümmert. Wir fühlten uns sofort sehr gut aufgehoben.
    Die Anreise war perfekt vorbereitet. Wir sind mit 2 Erwachsenen und drei Kindern (7,7,9 Jahre) gereist und fanden die am besten eingerichtete Ferienwohnung vor, die wir je gemietet haben und wir haben schon in wirklich vielen Ferienwohnungen gewohnt. Die Einrichtung lies wirklich keine Wünsche offen. Während des Aufenthaltes hat sich Perry, unser Vermieter wirklich rührend um alle Belange gekümmert. Angefangen mit wertvollen Tipps zu Ausflügen in der Umgebung, bis hin zu Unterstützung in einem unerwartete Krankheitsfall.

  • Neil from Netherlands (9/10)

    heel comfortabel, schoon en ruim.

  • Bogdan from Romania (10/10)
