What it’s like to live in Washington Square
Washington Square combines urban accessibility with village charm along Beacon Street in this distinctive Brookline neighborhood. Rental options include apartments in classic brick buildings and divided historic homes with architectural details unavailable in newer construction. While the popularity means premium rental rates and parking can be challenging without a dedicated space, residents enjoy exceptional access to both downtown Boston via the Green Line and the neighborhood's walkable commercial district with sophisticated urban living beyond Boston's city limits.

What it’s like to live in Cleveland Circle
College students beyond freshman year discover ideal housing in Cleveland Circle, where apartment buildings surrounding the Chestnut Hill Reservoir provide affordable options near Boston College and multiple MBTA connections. The neighborhood's commercial district includes practical amenities from late-night pizza to laundromats serving student lifestyles, while the reservoir's walking path provides recreation and studying breaks between academic obligations. Though some buildings show their age with older systems and limited amenities, the trade-off comes in significantly more reasonable rental rates than downtown Boston or Cambridge alternatives. The area's excellent public transportation includes multiple Green Line branches and bus routes connecting to broader Boston destinations without vehicle requirements. Summer subletting opportunities create flexible options for academic schedules, though finding September leases requires advance planning given the neighborhood's popularity among students from multiple institutions.
