Rare development opportunity at 101-103 University Road in the heart of Brookline's Washington Square. The town will allow a 3-family plus an ADU, giving builders and investors a flexible path to multiple units on an expansive lot of over 5,300 square feet. The standout advantage is timing; the property is already past the demo delay and utilities have been cut and capped, so your project can move forward immediately without the typical waiting period. Whether you envision a high-end multi-unit development, a custom build for yourself, or a significant residential transformation, this site offers the space and the framework to bring your vision to life. Skip the red tape and start building on one of the area's rarely available lots. Email or text me for details.
Aspinwall Hill, located between Washington Square and Cleveland Circle, is a residential and hillside Brookline neighborhood with prewar brick apartments and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Beacon Street at Cleveland Circle, where corner cafés, small grocers, and longtime eateries meet the Green Line’s steady rhythm. Coolidge Corner Theatre and Brookline Booksmith act as cultural anchors a short walk downhill. The skyline shifts from triple-deckers to stately Tudor and Colonial Revival homes along quiet lanes. Griggs Park adds an open green pause near the village streetscape. Commuter energy and porch-lit calm share the same blocks.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Brookline will continue to be a Seller's market for the foreseeable future, driven by restrictive zoning laws that have limited increases in housing production and a stable population with relatively low turnover. This has resulted in a massive...
supply/demand imbalance that is unlikely to change.
