Charlestown At A Glance


Charlestown, Boston’s second oldest neighborhood, is located north of Boston proper on a peninsula between the Mystic River and the Charles River. Charlestown, though separated from the North End by a body of water, is part of the city of Boston.

Charlestown covers roughly one and half square miles of land and hosts a population of over 15,000 residents.

Charlestown is located on the MBTA Orange Line and is accessible by the 92, 93, and 91 Buses. It is connected to Boston proper by the North Washington Street Bridge and to Chelsea by the Tobin Bridge.

Charlestown's past is rich with Revolutionary roots. The Freedom Trail runs through City Square, and the city is home to both the Bunker Hill National Park and the USS Constitution. For this reason, Charlestown is a popular tourist stop.

Charlestown, though only one and a half square miles is home to more than four parks, one college, a handful of businesses, and at least a dozen excellent restaurants. How it manages to fit it all in and still retain its colonial charm is central to Charlestown's allure.
