4/5Good

“ok neighborhood near Cambridge”

Waverly Street is a little more affordable than some other areas of Boston. It is safe, but does not have the quaint, historic feel of the more affluent neighborhoods. The pros are that the streets are wider and parking is better here, and homes actually have...Full review

“Away from the Hustle and Bustle of Boston”

This area is very nice and stately. The homes are gigantic and there is somewhat of a surburban feel in the middle of Boston. There is not much traffic as it is a cul-de-sac of sorts. Once you get back out on Foster to Washington, you're back in the heart o...Full review

“A Slice of Boston Living”

Comm. Ave in Boston is a funny sort of street. When you're downtown, right where Comm starts, it's one of the toniest places in town to live (if you live around the 300s, one of your neighbors is the Harvard Club of Boston. Yeah.). Even before I could put it a...Full review

“Quiet little residential street”

- realsupergirl
This is one of the best streets in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, and I'm not just saying that cause I live here. It's only a block off of Comm Ave, which has easy access to the T, several resta...Full review
