East Boston allows house buyers to move around by several modes of transportation. The public transit network in this area is very good. Rapid transit stations, such as Maverick Station, Orient Heights Station and Suffolk Downs Station on the Blue Line, are usually close by from the greater part of residences in the neighborhood. Homeowners are served by around 10 bus lines, and most homes are very close to a bus stop. Moving around by car is also easy in East Boston. Many real estate listings are a short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Massachusetts Turnpike. Active home buyers will appreciate the very pedestrian-friendly character of this part of Boston-Cambridge-Newton; most daily needs can be met on foot, and there are also a good number of businesses in proximity.
