alt tag

One of the earliest cities in modern America to be settled by European immigrants, Boston is a city steeped in history and patriotism. It was here that defiant colonists dumped British tea into The Harbor, Paul Revere took off on his famous ride, and the American Revolution was born. Looking around modern-day Boston it’s impossible to see it without glimpsing its storied past. The quaint historic buildings, meandering cobblestone streets, and distinct neighborhoods make it both charming and appealing for visitors and residents alike. 

If you're contemplating a move to Beantown you’ve likely been charmed by it like the rest of us. But what is it really like to live and work here? Our friends at Great Guys Moving put together the following infographic that details some of the things you should know before moving here.

650,000 people love calling Boston home, and once you've walked among them through Back Bay's lantern lined streets, or dined with them at one of The South End's hip new restaurants, you'll know why.  Where else serves up cannolis like the North End, boasts top-tier schools like MIT and Harvard, or has landmarks that rival those found on the Freedom Trail? These are just some of the reasons we love living in this city, and we know you will too.
