The Bay State Road Brownstones are a collection of historic Back Bay-style townhouses on Bay State Road that BU has converted into residential housing, primarily for upperclassmen. Units vary in size and configuration, offering a distinctly different aesthetic from the modern towers and traditional dorms. The brownstones lack central AC but provide a charming, intimate living experience in one of Boston's most beautiful residential streetscapes. Each house operates as a small community with shared spaces, and the Bay State Road setting — lined with Victorian architecture along the Charles River — is consistently rated one of BU's most appealing residential environments.
