Bay Village, located between Back Bay and the Theater District, is a historic and residential Boston neighborhood with brick rowhouses and gas-lit streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Church Street corridor near Arlington Street, where pocket restaurants, small bars, and tucked-away patios set a low-key, after-show rhythm. Federal-style homes and narrow lanes give the blocks a village scale beside the city’s busiest avenues. Bay Village Historic District details—brick sidewalks, ironwork, and compact courtyards—shape a quiet streetscape. The Boston Center for the Arts anchors local culture with galleries and performance spaces. Nearby, The Wilbur and Boch Center Wang Theatre extend the arts calendar to the edge of the neighborhood.
