St. Elizabeth's, located between Cleveland Circle and Brighton Center, is a residential and institutional Boston neighborhood with a collegiate edge and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center campus on Cambridge Street, where hospital buildings, corner takeout counters, and steady foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Boston College’s Brighton Campus and the McMullen Museum of Art act as cultural anchors, while the Evergreen Eatery adds a local café counterpoint. Housing reads as classic Brighton: triple-deckers, brick apartment blocks, and pockets of older homes along quieter lanes. Chestnut Hill Reservoir and the Commonwealth Avenue Green Line corridor shape the geography with long walks and transit-oriented streetscapes.

A rather unique offering; a single family home at a condo price. Short walk into "newly hip" Brighton Center from this raised cape style home on a private road with a city-private setting. Three levels of living space, newer heat and central A/C, newer roof and recent painting. 3+ off-street parking. Sunny patio in nturally landscaped garden. Enjoy the sunsets and winter views of Rogers Park. Possibly the best value in Brighton.
