Longwood’s #1 Home Cleaning & Maid Service

LONGWOOD’S MOST TRUSTED HOUSE CLEANING REFERRAL AGENCY

Boston is a city that knows how to get things done, including leading healthcare. The Longwood neighborhood revolves around healthcare innovation and education. Located within the middle of the Fenway-Kenmore district of Boston, just three miles from downtown, Longwood stands out as a hub of activity. It is where you can find prestigious medical and educational institutions, many of them renowned throughout the world. 

The People and Places of Longwood

Longwood goes by many names. Some call it the Longwood Medical and Academic Area or the Longwood Medical Area, Longwood, or even LMA. Found along Longwood Avenue, the 213 acres are bordered by Fenway, Audubon Circle, Mission Hill, and the town of Brookline. 

It is estimated that an estimated 57,000 or more employees and around 30,000 students commute to the LMA area. More than 32 percent of employees working in Longwood reside in Boston. Another 12 percent live in either Newton or Brookline. 8.5 percent commute from Plymouth, South Shore, or the Cape. 

Over the past two decades, Longwood has added 700 jobs annually. This means that it is one of the top areas for employment in all of Massachusetts. Furthermore, it has about 7,000 job openings available every single year. 81 percent of those jobs are within the medical sector, either for research or healthcare institutions. 

Six of Boston’s 21 undergraduate colleges, those with less than an enrollment below 4,800, are found in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area. In 2018, these colleges made up over 50 percent of Boston’s small college enrollment. More than half of the students from the Colleges of Fenway are from Massachusetts (57 percent). Over a third are from out of state, and 6 percent are international. 

The Longwood area has about 3.8 million visitors every year—outside of those who are receiving medical care. These are people visiting hospital patients, conference centers, schools, and other cultural institutions. 

The History of Longwood

Longwood is historic in its set up as well as the institutions that make it what it is—a state of the art urban zone for healthcare, education, research, and more. The Longwood area is a concentration of 22 facilities, including three research and research treatment centers, Harvard affiliated teaching hospitals, Harvard graduate schools, the historic Colleges of Fenway, an art museum, a mental health center, a public high school, a children’s treatment center, an international pharmaceutical research facility, and even a religious institution. 

There are several historic medical centers in LMA: 

• The Boston Children’s Hospital – the leading pediatric hospital in America
• Dana-Farber Cancer Institute – also serves as a training facility for the next generation of nurses and oncologists
• Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
• Brigham and Women’s Hospital
• Merck – located on the Emmanuel College campus. Also a Fortune 500 bio-pharmaceutical company
• Wyss Institute – partnered with Harvard Medical School
• The Colleges of the Fenway (COF) Consortium includes the following:
  • Emmanuel College
  • Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
  • Massachusetts College of Art and Design
  • Simmons College
  • Wentworth Institute of Technology
  • Wheelock College

The COF was designed to promote collaboration between schools and enhance study opportunities. 

The LMA receives all of its heating, cooling, and electrical power from a trigeneration facility, known as the Medical Area Total Energy Plant (MATEP). The complex was proposed in 1974. Construction was completed in 1986. There was a lot of opposition within the community over the project, and some even called it a “total disaster” because of the cost it had incurred. Fortunately, the MATEP has functioned swimmingly since the late 80s.
