At Custer Estate we are as culturally diverse as the residents of the neighborhood and Jamaica Plain itself.

We are a short walk to The Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Pond, The Footlight Club ( Americas oldest community theater) and the shops and restaurants on South and Centre Streets. Steps away is the 39  MBTA Bus Line and an easy commute to the Longwood Medical Area, the MFA, the Gardner Museum and the Back Bay. A 15 minute  walk and you are at an Orange Line MBTA Station at Forest Hills or Green Street providing a quick jaunt to the Back Bay and downtown areas.

The neighborhood also offers an array of municipal basketball, gym, track and swimming facilities at Curtis hall on South Street. Also nearby are outdoor tennis and basketball courts.
