About Dorchester
Dorchester is Boston’s largest and most diverse neighborhood, made up of more than 18 distinct areas, each with its own character and history. Once a separate farming community, it grew around small commercial and industrial centers along the Neponset River at Lower Mills and Mattapan Square, as well as along Dorchester Bay at Commercial Point. Today, it blends those historic roots with vibrant residential life.
At its center is Franklin Park, the final jewel in Frederick Law Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace. Spanning 527 acres, it offers open fields, walking paths, and recreational amenities just minutes from downtown. The park features a zoo, White Stadium, and one of the nation’s oldest public golf courses, along with plenty of space to relax and unwind.
Dorchester is home to over 88,000 residents and has a relatively young median age of 35. A mix of long-term residents and newcomers gives the neighborhood a dynamic, evolving feel. While household incomes trend slightly below the state average, Dorchester offers strong community character, accessibility, and value within the city.
With its rich history, diverse sections, and expansive green space, Dorchester remains a welcoming and distinctive part of Boston.
