Egleston Square
Egleston Square sits on the border with Roxbury and is an area of Jamaica Plain that is less well known. It developed along with the transit lines. The elevated train used to run right down Washington Street out from Boston to Egleston Square - until it was extended on out to Forest Hills. Egleston is where Washington Street and Columbus Avenue meet. This area has seen some new development in recent years but still maintains a distinct working class feel.
