Jamaica Plain, Boston
Victorian & Three-Family Renovation in Jamaica Plain
Jamaica Plain runs on Victorians, Queen Annes, and the three-families that have anchored these blocks for generations. We renovate them for how people actually live now, more light, real kitchens, tighter envelopes, without stripping out the character that drew owners to JP in the first place.
How We Work in Jamaica Plain
Local knowledge, built in.
Plenty of JP sits inside National Register districts like Monument Square and Sumner Hill, and the neighborhood backs right up to the Emerald Necklace. We confirm what Boston ISD and any historic review will and won’t allow before design starts, so the rules shape the plan instead of blowing up the budget later.
Investment
What a Jamaica Plain project costs
A Jamaica Plain renovation generally runs in the mid six figures, shaped by the age of the home and the historic districts that cover parts of the neighborhood. Adding light and real kitchens to a Victorian or three-family without losing its character is what sets the number. We scope the review and the older-home conditions in up front, so the budget reflects the real project rather than the optimistic one.

03 Can Cityside renovate a JP three-family?
Yes. We renovate the three-families that have anchored JP’s blocks for generations, opening them up for modern living while keeping their character. We handle the permitting and the tight-street logistics these projects carry.

We add the light, kitchens, and efficiency owners want while protecting the trim, proportions, and details that make a JP home what it is. The goal is a home that lives modern and still reads as the house that drew you to the neighborhood.
