Easy travel options around Dudley-Brunswick King
Dudley-Brunswick King is a Boston neighborhood that links Roxbury to Dorchester and provides access to downtown amenities with a more budget-friendly cost of living. Sidewalks throughout the area allow for walks to independently owned restaurants that serve up tastes from around the globe. Sports fields and playgrounds are also available throughout the neighborhood. The narrow side streets are often lined with parked cars — plentiful bus stops and light rail stations mean that many residents don’t have to navigate highway traffic.
Commuters enjoy Dudley-Brunswick King for its convenient transportation and bus lines.

Local restaurants offer flavorful meals on the go
Casual take-out restaurants populate the main thoroughfares, offering flavors from the Caribbean, Venezuela and China, just to name a few. “A lot of locals are advocating for mom-and-pop type businesses because there’s high turnover and a low success rate with restaurants,” says Joanna Edwards, co-founder of Thumbprint Realty and lifetime Boston resident. In Dudley-Brunswick King, “not many sit-down restaurants are thriving.” She says that people grab quick meals from their favorite neighborhood spots, such as La Familia Kitchen or Flames, but for special occasions or weekend treats, many take the light rail to downtown. With Brother’s Supermarket and a Stop & Shop in the community, residents can do their grocery shopping close to home.

From Four Corners to South Station in about 20 minutes
Access to public transportation allows people to avoid driving into the city. “Traffic on the highways has been really congested,” Edwards says. “The city is trying to reduce vehicle use.” Most Dudley-Brunswick King residences are less than 1 mile from the nearest Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority — known locally as “the T” — light rail station. “A lot of people work from home or do a hybrid mix,” Edwards says. “People still like the option to get into the city — working from home doesn’t shift their interest in public transportation.” The trip along the Fairmount Line light rail from the Four Corners/Geneva station to Boston's South Station usually takes about 16 minutes. From there, Faneuil Hall, Chinatown and the Boston Common are about a 0.5-mile walk. Those who prefer to travel via bus can find T bus stops all along Columbia Road and Blue Hill Avenue. The Boston Logan International Airport, one of the East Coast’s major hubs, is about 8 miles away from the neighborhood.
Boston triple-deckers and new builds
Multifamily housing makes up the majority of listings in Dudley-Brunswick King. Some pastel-painted Boston triple-deckers and Federal-style brick townhouses date back to the late 1800s, but not all housing is historic. “There’s a ton of new condos being built to accommodate the increase in population,” Edwards says. Some of the more recently constructed structures incorporate classic architectural details, including ornate gables and bay windows, while others look distinctly contemporary. Income-restricted affordable housing units begin around $300,000, but the majority of condos and townhouses cost between $480,000 and $800,000. Some buyers purchase entire multifamily buildings, occupying one unit and using rental income from the other units to supplement their mortgage costs. Though duplexes and triplexes in need of repairs might come on the market in the $600,000s, most triple-deckers list between $900,000 and $1.5 million and well-restored ones with four units may sell for as high as $2.1 million. Some parts of the community are prone to flooding — those who own buildings in flood zones may be required to purchase flood insurance.

Haitian heritage and Juneteenth celebrations
With public transportation, getting to events anywhere in Boston is possible. Edwards says that there’s often a Juneteenth celebration in Franklin Park and that Boston While Black organizes gatherings and reunions near downtown. In May, Haitian American United honors Boston’s more than 50,000 Haitian residents with a parade along Blue Hill Avenue, which lies at the edge of the Dudley-Brunswick King community. On Tuesdays in summer, the Elma Lewis Playhouse concert series holds free performances in honor of Lewis. She built a stage and gathered musicians to perform in the park during the 1960s and ‘70s — artists during that time included Duke Ellington and Odetta.
Franklin Park is a renowned gem in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, celebrated for its natural beauty and vibrant atmosphere.
