Brookline Massachusetts is a wonderful and unique mixture of busy streets - upscale shops - village pubs - large estates - gracious apartment buildings and rolling countryside. It is home for legions of scientific and academic professionals who work at nearby medical centers in Boston.
Brookline became incorporated as a town in 1705 when this "Muddy River" farmland of Boston was named for the brooks that formed its boundaries. It has kept its town meeting form of government to this present day.
Brookline offers its own working farm-complete with farm stand, the oldest country club in the nation, a town golf course, a magnificent park on a hillside overlooking Boston which includes an open air skating rink, a highly interesting transportation museum, and the home in which John F. Kennedy was born.
Brookline is home to major retail centers that are alive with pedestrian- oriented shopping areas that are populated with a variety of shops. Here you will find antique stores, book stores, fresh fruit and vegetable markets, delis, restaurants, and coffee shops. Brookline offers both a city atmosphere and a feeling of being in the country, thus making it a jewel of a suburb!
