Brookline is a suburb of Boston but it has
managed to maintain its own character - a unique
mixture of busy streets and rolling countryside,
upscale shops and village pubs, gracious
apartment buildings and large estates, and home
for legions of academic and scientific
professionals, who work at the nearby medical
centers in Boston.
Among its many unusual resources, Brookline has
its own working farm, the oldest country club in
the nation, a town golf course, the home in
which John F. Kennedy was born, a magnificent
park on a hillside overlooking Boston with a
wonderful open air skating rink and marvelous
transportation museum, and numerous neighborhood
parks and playgrounds scattered throughout the
Town.
Its major retail
centers, like Coolidge Corner and Brookline
Village, are bustling pedestrian-oriented
shopping areas with a variety of shops - antique
stores, coffee shops, bookstores, fresh fruit
and vegetable markets, delicatessens and
restaurants. With its good schools (both
public and private), good transportation
(several branches of the MBTA Green Line
traverse the Town), and good government,
Brookline is a choice spot in which to reside or
establish a business. |
