Commonwealth Avenue boulevard is the main thoroughfare in the Boston's Back Bay, the preeminent Victorian residential neighborhood in America.
Commonwealth Avenue is testimony to a bygone Victorian era in which public open space was conceived as a decorative boulevard that enhanced the townhouses of the gentry, and served as a promenade for fine ladies and gentlemen.
Commonwealth Avenue is big, but it is built to a human scale.

 Boston University - Office of Residence Life - Communities - Upper Commonwealth Avenue
"The Upper Commonwealth Avenue Area is comprised of 1019 Commonwealth Avenue and the Student Residence at 10 Buick Street.
Located near the Agganis Arena and the Fitness and Recreation Center, the Student Residence at 10 Buick Street provides apartment-style housing, whereas 1019 Commonwealth Avenue provides suite-style accommodations.
For most of the area’s residents, their time at Upper Commonwealth Avenue is a time of transition, and through the staff’s careful planning (and a little luck!), we can help residents make a successful and, dare I say, fun transition to life beyond BU."

 Building Commonwealth Avenue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The overall conception for Commonwealth Avenue, which was built in stages between 1885 and 1895, was provided by the leading landscape architect of his day, Frederick Law Olmsted, then a resident of Brookline.
Commonwealth Avenue was built through the least populated section of Allston-Brighton (the poor quality of its soil there and the many ledge outcroppings had made farming impractical and thus retarded development).
Allston-Brighton’s Commonwealth Avenue was laid out between 1885 and 1888, but the building of this grand boulevard did not lead to the large scale, high-quality development that its projectors had envisioned.

The Commonwealth Avenue and Russell Road traffic calming project was the first of its kind in Alexandria.
Residents in the Rosemont neighborhood were concerned about the likelihood of increased traffic and speeds on lower Commonwealth and Russell as both collector streets run through the community to within blocks of what would be the future United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) complex by the King Street Metro.
The 85th percentile speed on Russell was lowered from 33 to 25 mph from the speed tables.

Harvard Avenue is lined primarily by one and two story commercial blocks dating between 1910 and the 1980s, with the majority dating from the 1920s.
The segment of Harvard Avenue between Cambridge Street and Brighton Avenue is more intact, in terms of historic fabric, than the stretch of this thoroughfare between Brighton and Commonwealth Avenues.
Unlike the northern segment of Harvard Avenue, with its municipal, ecclesiastical and apartment buildings, the southern segment between Brighton Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue is lined with one to two story commercial blocks.

Commonwealth Avenue (often abbreviated "Comm Ave" by locals) is a road in the city of Boston, Massachusetts beginning at the western edge of the Public Garden, and continuing west through the Back Bay, Kenmore Square, and the suburbs of Brighton and Chestnut Hill.
Often termed "Boston's Grand Boulevard" in the Parisian tradition, the street is divided at center by a large median (named the Commonwealth Avenue Mall) with greenery and statuary from its origin until it reaches Kenmore Square.
Train service was cut back to its present terminus at the Boston border in 1930 and buses last ran on Commonwealth Avenue in 1976.

Despite intersecting Commonwealth Avenue, one of the city's most handsome boulevards, it became seedy during the 1970s, like most of Boston.
Completed in May 2003, the 150-room Commonwealth is an entirely new building--designed by Ahearn Schopfer and Associates--that zoning laws required to blend into Commonwealth Avenue, which is a riot of architectural styles ranging from Federalist to Victorian and neo-Classical.
There is much to recommend the Commonwealth on the strength of its comfort and convenience alone, but what really propels the hotel into the top tier is the presence of its in-house restaurant, Great Bay.
