Victorian homes perched along sidewalks that frame narrow streets flanked with trees, a historic downtown shopping district, and gorgeous parks help define the neighborhood of West Roxbury. This Boston neighborhood is on the southwest side of Downtown. This neighborhood was frequently visited by celebrities like author Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wrote a book about his stay in the community.
If you like the outdoors, then West Roxbury is perfect for you! Brook Farm's original 179 acres is now a National Historic Landmark and an ideal hiking and picnicking spot. The vast Millennium Park is attached to Brook Farm and includes six miles of hiking trails, a canoe launch, great views of the Boston skyline, and picnic areas. West Roxbury apartments are ideal for commuters, situated just eight miles southwest of Downtown Boston, with a ride on the MBTA Needham Line taking less than 20 minutes.
