Jamaica Plain

Jamaica Plain is a location and a possible settlement in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Layout
Jamaica Plain is a large, mostly untouched pre-War town directly south west of University Point and north west of Quincy, mostly surrounded by walls with a variety of partially intact buildings within. Getting into the town may prove difficult, as there are at least two dozen feral ghouls around the area, as well as, once the main story has been completed, followers of Atom carrying gamma guns that wander around hunting those ghouls.

One of the more notable buildings, an old church, is found in the southern center portion of the plain which has its doors chained. One can access it by entering the house next to it and climbing on the roof, where there is a platform which leads straight to the hole in the church's roof, or by going through the windows of the church, which are large enough to jump through without difficulty. The most sought after place in Jamaica Plain is its town hall, found across from the church, the basement of which being the location of the Jamaica Plain treasures exhibit, which has lured treasure hunters in hopes of finding what lies within. Of these treasure hunters, one group in particular can be found dead and scattered throughout the town, including: The basement used to be a janitor's area but it was changed into a pre-War cache, two months before the Great War. The exhibit itself features many unique pre-War items deemed as treasures by its former inhabitants.
 * Sal - ex-Gunner, heavy weapons specialist, Leader of the group - Found in Mayor's office.
 * Luke Silverhand - Gearhead - Tech guy - Found in the church
 * Carl Everett - Fixer - Found east of the town hall near some concrete barriers and a trashcan fire.
 * Ken Standish - Found on the second floor of a blue house northeast of the town hall.
 * Tanya Standish - with Ken.

Salvage in Jamaica Plain is rather sparse compared to other sites, but its location as one of the few southeastern settlements make it a good location for a Minutemen artillery piece. The actual buildable area of Jamaica Plain is a small portion of the overall ruined town. However, it's a rare settlement that is an actual town with architecture, not a place to build crude wooden shacks. There is no deep water, so simple water pumps must suffice. There are many line-of-sight breaks and natural walls, which combined with the smallish area, should prove easily defensible with some choice turret locations.
