Savin Hill is a section of Dorchester, the largest neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, United States.[2]
Named after the geographic feature it covers and surrounds, Savin Hill is about one square mile in area, and has a population of about 15,000 people. Savin Hill Beach and Malibu Beach are nearby and are a resource for surrounding communities. Rail and bus routes give access to and from Savin Hill, especially the Savin Hill station.
It is the home of the Savin Hill Yacht Club which was founded in 1875 as the Savin Hill Beach Association but later changed its name in 1888.[3] The club is located off Morrissey Boulevard, a main artery in the area.
