"Neighborhood full of local parishes, athletic leagues and political activism"

A friend of mine lived in West Roxbury for what seemed like forever. Fittingly she was a political activist which was one of the reasons she called West Roxbury home. Not much into civic or political activism, I frequented West Roxbury solely because of the fine display of local restaurants along the main thoroughfare of Centre Street. Here you will find a large display of commercial establishments as well.

The neighborhood is full of parishes and fields for local athletic leagues and the tree lined streets give this area a real suburban feel amongst the Boston urban setting. There are a lot of single family homes in the neighborhood and West Roxbury has largely become one of the more popular areas for singles and young families alike.
