"a perfect quiet area"

This is a very cute, and quiet residential area. There isn't any traffic what so ever. There is a cute section of trees down the block that is quite attractive. From this road, there is an attractive Reservior only 5 mins away. A few blocks away there are many good resturants to eat at. The neighboor hood on the street is very friendly, and have deep roots in the community. The houses are very nice, and attractive. I feel that this area is very neighborly, peaceful, and safe. I didn't find anything that is un-appealing what so ever, about this street. I even recall having good cell reception, which is always a good thing.

"Quiet little residential street"

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 restaurants, and good wifi/cell phone service. It's also a half mile away from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, and right behind the buildings at 39 and 35 Mt Hood Road there's a hidden wooded easement that nestles in between the buildings on this street and the building on Comm Ave around the corner. This little urban wildlife area has a fantastic collection of blue jays, downy woodpeckers, nuthatches, cardinals, and even the occasional hawk.

Despite all this, it's actually very quiet. We rarely hear foot traffic or cars from our building, because of the angle the street is on and the hill that it includes.

"Close to transportation"

Mt. Hood Rd. is a small, one-way residential street in Brighton, MA near Boston, just off of a major artery, Commonwealth Ave. It is close to three train lines and various bus stops, but off of the main road enough to have more privacy for the area. Brighton in general is a college student area, however most residents on Mt. Hood seem to be graduate students or your professionals. The street is usually quiet, but you will occasionally hear people walking home from the bars on weekend nights. On-street parking is difficult, but restricted to residents of Brighton and nearby Allston.
