Getting there
The Green Line E is the main way in.
It runs along Huntington Avenue, a short walk from most of the hospitals.
| Stop | Line | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Longwood Medical Area | Green Line E | Longwood Avenue and the center of the area |
| Brigham Circle | Green Line E | The Huntington Avenue side and Mission Hill |
| Fenwood Road | Green Line E | One stop past Brigham Circle, on the Mission Hill side |
| Longwood | Green Line D | The Brookline side, a walk of several blocks down Longwood Avenue |
| Ruggles | Orange Line and commuter rail | Connections from Downtown, Back Bay and further out |
Several bus routes also run along Longwood Avenue, Brookline Avenue and Huntington Avenue. Routes change from time to time, so check the MBTA trip planner from the address you’re considering.
Watch out for the two “Longwood” stops. Longwood Medical Area is on the E branch, in the middle of the hospitals. Longwood, on the D branch, is in Brookline at the far end of Longwood Avenue.

- Monthly stays and longerEasyGo homes are for stays of a month or more, so a contract, a rotation or a course of treatment fits in one place. Need longer? Ask to extend.
- Parking, or a car waiting for youMany streets in nearby Boston neighborhoods are resident-permit parking, and permits require a Massachusetts registration at a Boston address. Some EasyGo homes will have a driveway or garage space, and each listing will say what parking comes with it. Coming soon: an EasyGo car delivered to your stay, so you don’t need to bring one.
- Book well ahead of SeptemberStudents start at the nearby colleges each fall, so apartments in Mission Hill and Fenway get scarce in late summer.
- Everything in one placeEvery EasyGo home will include utilities, Wi-Fi, linens and laundry, with a cleaner available if you’d like one.
