Fenway-Kenmore
A lively neighborhood with many features.
Fenway-Kenmore is most recognized as the home of Fenway Park and the Red Sox. But, it’s also home to cultural institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts and Symphony Hall. You’ll also find the nation’s first public school, Boston Latin School. There are also several schools for higher education.
Students and young professionals love the area for the clubs on Lansdowne Street. Frederick Law Olmsted designed the neighborhood’s main green space, the Back Bay Fens. The Fenway surrounds this lush park.

He fell in love with Allston-Brighton and its vibrant community and is thrilled to be able to serve his adopted home.
In his free time, Mendoza works towards his goal of visiting every Boston park, while birdwatching and identifying their plants. He particularly enjoys collecting Star Wars LEGOs, listening to music, watching historical documentaries, cooking, and playing Dungeons and Dragons every Thursday with his friends.
