Brookline

Ranked Best Suburb
In 2015, Brookline was ranked America’s best suburb. It is perfect for people looking for that perfect hybrid of suburban and urban lifestyle, as it is very close to the city’s attractions. Getting into Boston is easy and convenient for Brookline residents. Despite being close to the city, Brookline keeps its small town charm. The hottest spots in town revolve around the popular eateries and shopping centers - Coolidge Corner, Washington Square, and Brookline Village. Larz Anderson Park is also a favorite with the locals. Here, the park offers plenty of walking pathways, gardens, and even a skating rink.

The bars and restaurants offer wonderful options. Restaurants include La Morra, El Centro, The Haven, Clover Food Lab, and Pon Thai Bistro. Bars to have a drink at include Blossom Bar at Sichuan Garden, Bill's Bar & Lounge, Bukowski Tavern, and Bleacher Bar. Brookline is a much sought after place to call home - being voted one of the best places to live in the country speaks for itself, and the residents are inclined to agree.
