Brookline is a jewel of a suburb. Cheek to jowl with Boston - it has
managed to maintain its own identity - a unique mixture of busy streets and
rolling countryside, upscale shops and village pubs, gracious apartment
buildings and large estates, and home for legions of academic and
scientific professionals, who work at the nearby medical centers in Boston.
Brookline has staunchly refused to be absorbed by Boston, which surrounds
it like a horseshoe. A community of 6.6 square miles and almost 55,000
people. Brookline has kept its town meeting form of government since 1705,
when this "Muddy River" farmland of Boston became incorporated and named
for the brooks that formed its boundaries.
Among its many unusual resources, Brookline has its own working farm (with
farm stand), the oldest country club in the nation, a town golf course, the
home in which John F. Kennedy was born, a magnificent park on a hillside
overlooking Boston with a wonderful open air skating rink and marvelous
transportation museum, and numerous neighborhood parks and playgrounds
scattered throughout the Town. Its major retail centers, like Coolidge
Corner and Brookline Village, are bustling pedestrian-oriented shopping
areas with a variety of shops - antique stores, coffee shops, bookstores,
fresh fruit and vegetable markets, delicatessens and restaurants.
Along with offering both a city atmosphere and a feeling of being in the
country, there is a wonderful mix of people in Brookline: elderly,
minorities, immigrants from many lands, young families and college
students. It is said that the student body at Brookline High School -- a
nationally renowned institution -- includes students from more than 50
different countries.
Although predominantly residential, Brookline is anxious to attract new
commercial development, and in just the last two years, the Town has
amended its zoning to encourage new growth along its major thoroughfares.
With its good schools (both public and private), good transportation
