Downing Rd, Salisbury Rd. / Corey Farm

A lovely and more affordable area of Brookline, Salisbury Road/Corey Farm is very popular with university students. It's got condos as well as single family homes and apartments and there's a good reason it's a sought after area. Between Coolidge Corner and Washington Square, it offers a huge assortment of restaurants and trendy shops in almost any director. It's very convenient to transportation and is, in general, one of the most popular and accessible areas of Brookline.

One of the nicest attractions is the accessibility to the paths going up Corey Hill. They were a part of a master design years ago, but now they provide a quick walk through a beautiful and secluded area and amazing vistas once at the top of Corey Hill. Having something like this in a busy city is very special indeed.

Corey Farms or more properly referred to as Salisbury Road-Corey Farms is a hidden little neighborhood nestled across from Corey Hill and Washington Street. Most residents of the neighborhood call it Boston’s best kept secret because it is well hidden between Beacon Street and Brighton but not too far away from the great restaurants that Washington Square has to offer. The area is far removed from the noise level of Washington Square as well as the hustle and bustle of traffic and crowds.

The homes are fairly old-school, dating back to the early part of the 20th century and provide some unique and beautiful architecture and design. There are a few schools in the neighborhood as well but most send their kids into the neighboring districts.

Due to the location of the neighborhood, Corey Farms provides easy access to the wide number of restaurants and shopping around Brookline. Anna’s Taqueria (although a small chain) offers some great tex-mex if you are in the mood.
