A main street, a Latin Quarter and a hospital by the Arboretum

Jamaica Plain’s frontline work follows Centre Street. Hyde Square and Jackson Square form Boston’s Latin Quarter, with Latin American restaurants, markets and specialty shops, and Centre Street has supermarkets in Hyde Square and near Jackson Square. Further south, shops and restaurants continue to the Monument, where South Street branches off toward Forest Hills.

Healthcare is a large part of the picture. Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital stands on Centre Street across from the Arnold Arboretum, the Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center is on South Huntington Avenue, and community health centers serve the neighborhood. Warehouse work, on the other hand, is scarce here and mostly found in other neighborhoods.

The Orange Line runs along the neighborhood’s eastern side, stopping at Jackson Square, Stony Brook, Green Street and Forest Hills. Route 39 runs up South Street and Centre Street toward the Longwood Medical Area and the Back Bay, and the Green Line E branch ends at Heath Street, at the Mission Hill line.
