Dorchester, located a couple of miles south of Downtown, is Boston’s largest neighborhood. It occupies a sprawling area comprised of smaller locales including Savin Hill, Upham’s Corner, Field’s Corner, and more. Due to its vast geography, Dorchester’s neighborhoods vary: some regions are urban/walkable, while others feel more suburban/residential. Similarly, the residents themselves represent a diverse spectrum of immigrants, longtime occupants, professionals, families, and some students. Green space abounds in Dorchester, as there are numerous fields, golf courses, and parks, the largest of which is the iconic Franklin Park. The Redline T and Commuter Rail service multiple stops, which along with ample bus routes, make public transportation effective.
