Charlestown, Boston's oldest neighborhood, embodies a captivating blend of its 1600s roots and contemporary life, making it a family-friendly area. Residents like Amanda Zettel, who joined the community years ago to renovate a house, have fallen in love with the juxtaposition of the neighborhood's historical architecture against the new skyline. Zettel now leads the Charlestown Preservation Society, which aims to protect the area's historical fabric while promoting sustainable development, in part as a reaction to past urban renewal efforts that have reshaped Boston's residential landscape.
The Charlestown Preservation Society is one of a few organizations that work to preserve historic Charlestown while encouraging sustainable development.
I fell in love with Charlestown. There are these moments of juxtaposition between the old neighborhood and the new Boston skyline.
