new in the neighborhood JP

Jamaica Plain has been in the news quite a bit this week with the announcement that legendary neighborhood bar Doyle's Cafe is for sale. According to the current owners they can no longer afford to stay in the neighborhood. Of course, this raises the question of how to balance the city's need for housing while maintaining the character of unique neighborhoods like JP. This debate requires much more in-depth analysis however there is no doubt that multi-family development has been booming in this area. Currently, there are around 1,000 residential units under construction throughout JP with another 300+ approved for construction.  Let’s take a look at some of the recent completions and upcoming projects.
