Definition of Posh is rich, well to do or aristocratic ie.:the Back Bay

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

Definition of Posh according to the Urban Dictionary is defined as rich, well to do, or aristocratic. My definition is more like affluent, luxurious and a life style. Better yet I would give the: The Back Bay of Boston MA as an example of the definition of Posh.

If you want to visit a part of Boston that is elegant and tidy one of the first places that come to my mind is the Back Bay. It is a pleasure to walk and wherever you take your leisurely walk on Newbury Street you can enjoy the boutiques as well as the simple stores that you need to have in everyday life or restaurants or just observe the magnificent townhomes that are in between the shops and restaurants.

There are so many contrasts in architecture from different eras such as Copley square, The Prudential Center, The Hancock Tower or Newbury St. Everywhere you go there are opportunities to find something you like.

Michael, Newbury St is like Rodeo Dr in Beverly Hills with the difference that it is mixed use...affluent rentals and owner occupied townhomes.

Endre, it's always nice "going back". The Back Bay reminds me of some areas in Chicago with the great architecture and restaurants. I've never been to Boston, but it sounds like a great place.

Endre, in looking at your pictures they remind me of Yorktown in Toronto.  Nice little shops, little places to sit and have a glass of wine etc.  Nice.

Posh is somewhat removed for many us that live in urban suburbs. Posh is our area may be related to a mansion in Potomac, in Montgomery County.

Chris & Dick I have not been to Yorktown in Toronto, I have been to Toronto when I was about 15 but virtually no recollection...sounds like I would love it there:) Endre

DeeDee me to, some people call it Champaign Taste but that is OK with me:))

Roy, having been a City Slicker all my life I have always yearned about suburbia:))

Jennifer I  Love NYC and Boston is a slower paced mini version of NYC but more parochial. We always like to stay in the Back Bay and be bop into Beacon Hill & the North End as well as the Waterfront.... last few trips it has been the Sheraton...Ironically when Niki was trying to get a breakfast last year with Active Rain members he found out that most of the Rainers are not Boston Agents rather Suburban Agents, we were staying in the same hotel:)) too bad I found out after the fact....
