"A close in neighborhood that's super quiet"

Longwood is the most eastern and therefore closest in neighborhood of Brookline. Although housing a portion of Wheelock College, it is a higher income area with the average age of a resident being early 30s and young professionals who like the quick commute. It's expensive and most of the apartments and houses are older. One of the great larger apartment buildings, the Longwood Tower, is undergoing huge renovation and would be an exciting place to live if one has the money.

This is a really quiet area and it's great if you don't expect a lot of bars or restaurants right down the block. You have to head up to Fenway Plaza for all that. This area of Brookline is more about being close, good schools and really nice places to live.
