Depending on where you reside in this neighborhood, it is about a 10 to 15-minute commute to downtown Boston. The neighborhood has plenty of commercial activity and businesses to walk to, although due to the size of the area and proximity to commercial areas and thoroughfares, it may be a short or long walk to nearby services. 

The main commercial corridor is on Dudley Street, but Dorchester Street and Washington Street are also lined with restaurants, shops, theatres, and pubs. There is also a section of the neighborhood where Vietnamese ethnic restaurants and shops are concentrated.  When walking the area with your pet, you will also be able to reach a zoo, library, museum, and fresh produce market in the area. On the east side of the region, you can take your dog to the Blarney Stone Restaurant where they are welcome to join you on the outdoor patio.
