About Oak
Square
Oak Square, located between Brighton Center and Newton Corner, is a residential and commercial Boston neighborhood with a busy crossroads and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Washington Street and Faneuil Street junction, where corner pubs, longtime bakeries, and small service storefronts line the sidewalks. Triple-deckers and compact apartment blocks mix with detached houses on leafy side streets. Rogers Park and the Charles River paths shape daily routines with courts, fields, and riverfront loops. The Massachusetts Turnpike edge and nearby commuter routes give the area a distinctly in-motion feel.
