Aspinwall Hill, Brookline

Aspinwall Hill, located between the larger Corey Hill and Fisher Hill is a neighborhood with rich history dating back to the 1800’s. Aspinwall Hill is named for Dr. William Aspinwall who built a home on the property in 1803. The area, much like all of Brookline, is known for being designed by famous landscape architect F.L. Olmsted.

Today, Aspinwall is a residential area that offers several styles of housing including condominiums, townhomes, and houses that are very sought after by locals and transplants alike. The streets are lined with large shade trees and provide a great neighborhood for people to raise families. Aspinwall is within easy reach to public transportation and the shopping on Beacon Street. One of the most popular places in the neighborhood is Schick Park, which is located on the top of the hill. Schick Park offers a variety of outdoor activities for families and individuals.

The Aspinwall Hill area of Brookline is a unique urban area with an almost rural feel to it. Due in large part to its late 1880s street design plan that incorporates housing density with pedestrian paths to shops and entertainment, life in Aspinwall provides the best of both worlds. It is highly convenient to public transportation, has excellent schools and is one of the most popular areas of Brookline for young professionals with families. With the convenience of all the Beacon Street shops and restaurants within walking distance and its shady streets and large apartments, it’s no wonder it is one of the most sought after areas.
