Brookline Area Information

Homes for Sale

Brookline's evolution from an agricultural to a suburban residential community began when wealthy merchants purchased large farms and built summer homes. This community has become a desirable commuter suburb.

Bookline is predominately residential with some country properties and some areas of busy streets. There are upscale shops and major retail centers, antique stores, and coffee shops. The area is approximately 6 square miles and 55,000+ people live with the community. The home styles run from lovely apartment buildings to gracious estates.

Brookline offers the convenience of being close to Boston, but far enough away to foster a suburban lifestyle. Brookline is known for its many public parks and excellent schools. Former small estates have been converted to apartments and condos.
