Beacon Hill is a thriving urban neighborhood where a charming historical setting welcomes the bustle of strollers and laughing children alongside students, shoppers, seniors and tradespeople.  Young professionals, business executives and a broad mix of tourists make street life here a feast for the ears and eyes. Shopping on Beacon Hill reflects the neighborhood with small, one of a kind shops, restaurants, hotels and service firms. These businesses take personal pride in their offerings with a wide array of food and unusual gifts, apparel and antiques from all over the world.

The Beacon Hill Business Association was formed to promote, develop and improve the neighborhood's unique shopping, dining, entertainment and professional services as well as the quality of life in our community. Beacon Hill is a friendly neighborhood where most businesses are owned by individuals or small firms who offer the highest level of personal attention to our customers and clients.
