Why The Magnolia Matters
Jamaica Plain is one of Boston's most vibrant communities, but rising housing costs and limited housing supply continue to make it harder for people to remain in the neighborhood they love.
The Magnolia helps address that challenge by creating new housing opportunities while preserving open space, enhancing tree canopy, and investing in the long-term future of the neighborhood.
