North Brookline is considered one of the most densely-populated areas around Boston with more than 20,000 residents per square mile. The neighborhood is home to college students and families in a suburban-urban mix of century-old homes and converted apartment buildings. 

North Brookline was once separated from the rest of the area by two small rivers. The northern river, Smelt Brook, separated it from Brighton, while the southern river, Muddy River, separated it from Boston.

North Brookline sits between Packard’s Corner and the Cottage Farm Historic District with close access to Longwood, Coolidge Corner, Corey Hill, and Allston.

Locals enjoy the proximity to Harvard Avenue, which is home to plenty of restaurants, parks, art events, and historical sites like 83 Beals Street, where President John F. Kennedy was born, and the Brookline Booksmith, one of the area’s most well-known independent bookstores.

North Brookline residents can also attend annual events like the Coolidge Corner Art Festival, the Brookline Farmers Market, or unlimited shows at the Coolidge Corner Theater.

North Brookline is well-liked for its charming, tree-lined streets and older homes. Unfortunately, with this environment, residents are no stranger to persistent pests, which tend to make their way inside of houses and businesses through decades-old cracks and crevices. The good news is that Greenhow’s got your back.
