For anyone interested in visiting or moving to one of the foremost gay neighborhoods in Boston, here are three areas that are not to be missed:
1. South End
2. Fenway-Kenmore
3. Back Bay

Ask anyone to direct you to one of the best same-sex attracted areas in Boston and they will almost all certainly say the South End. This neighborhood has gone through a ton of transitions since its establishment in the 1850s. It has most recently settled into a current urban setting.
Now it is home to a diverse population, which includes a large portion of LGBTQ residents.
Nestled in between Support Bay, Chinatown, and Roxbury, this close-knit community is filled with old Victorian houses and a large number of green spaces.
