With its proximity to major parks, Back Bay, Boston University, Northeastern University and the Longwood cultural district, Fenway may be Boston's last untapped real estate gem. In the last few years, development in the Fenway has picked up, particularly from developer Samuels and Associates. Recent developments include the renovation of the Landmark Center, which now houses a Best Buy, Regal Cinemas, Bed Bath & Beyond, Longhorn Steakhouse, Staples, and other retailers and office space; the 2003 addition of Hotel Commonwealth on the site of the Rathskeller bar; and the 576-unit, 17-floor Trilogy apartment building on Brookline Avenue and Boylston Street.

Brookline is a town in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States, which borders on the cities of Boston and Newton. Many students from nearby Boston University and Northeastern University reside in the neighborhood. The area is almost entirely brick, walk-up buildings and brownstone townhouses, although over the last 20 years almost every residential building in Kenmore has been purchased by Boston University and turned into dorms, especially in the Audubon Circle area between Beacon Street and Commonwealth Avenue.
