"It's a progressive and diverse little neighborhood."

North Brookline is one of those areas where you can opt out of owning a car. There's plenty of open space for walking and it's close enough to mass transit that you can get where you need to go. It's sort of a progressive neighborhood that attracts a very diverse population and it is a mixture of historical homes and well maintained apartment buildings with enough commercial density to make life convenient.

There's a seasonal farmer's market that's replaced the once huge farms in the area. Now it's trucked in. There's a wide range of amenities in this neighborhood because of huge growth, but luckily, there's some well thought out urban planning going on too. It isn't likely that the area will become overdeveloped and everyone can keep enjoying the parks and fresh air.
