Neighborhoods! Ours and others!
Architecture, History and Views
A beautiful historic neighborhood. John Calvin Stevens homes make up many of the historic homes in the West End. The photo with ivy covered home is on a street just two blocks away and on the way to many great restaurants and downtown. Deering Street is worth walking past, in our neighborhood, the West End/Parkside neighborhood. The rest of the West End can be accessed by walking down to the Western Promenade and through the neighborhood that borders it. We suggest taking time to walk through here on your way to the Old Port.

The Old Port is a 20 minute walk from the house. Fabulous restaurants, shops, and beautiful old New England streets and wharfs. Try Exchange Street and Commercial St. for shopping. Judith is our favorite for women's fashion, David Wood for men's, and Edgecomb potters makes very cool pottery. Fore Street, Scales, and Street and Co. are among the great restaurant choices and take reservations. Don’t miss it :)

Street and Co and Scales are the best seafood in town. They are owned by the same group, and also own Fore Street. Scales is excellent fish and is in the Old Port harbor.

Perhaps the best all around dinner spot. Owners of this venue also own Scales and Street and Co, which I would argue is the best seafood in town.
