Brookline

Quick Comments:   Family, Sophisticated, Expensive 

Public Transportation:  Green Line trains, and buses

Brookline is its own city and not actually part of Boston, but it is very convenient for those who work in the Longwood Medical Area and at Brigham and Women‘s Hospital, a member of Partners HealthCare.

Brookline has an excellent public school system for children. It also has a unique mixture of busy streets, expensive shops and village pubs (mostly located in Coolidge Corner and Brookline Village), Jewish cultural centers, and gracious apartment buildings and large estates.

Brookline is home for many academic and scientific professionals who work at the nearby medical centers in Boston. The southwestern portion offers larger estates and a quiet, wealthier setting.

Brookline does not permit overnight street parking.

It is recommended that you rent/lease an apartment in this neighborhood after you arrive in the U.S. and can evaluate the area.
