Listed by Eileen Strong O Boy• Hammond Residential Real Estate
Chestnut Hill, located between Commonwealth Avenue and Route 9, is a residential and retail Newton neighborhood with granite outcrops and village-style shopping streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Chestnut Hill Mall–The Street corridor on Boylston Street, where cafés, boutiques, and polished storefronts line wide sidewalks. Pillars include the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, the Boston College campus edge, and the historic Hammond Pond Reservation trails. Large, shingle-style and brick homes sit along curving, tree-lined roads shaped by the area’s glacial terrain. Pocket parks and reservoir paths set a steady outdoor rhythm. Commercial nodes feel curated rather than crowded, with a calm, commuter-friendly pace.

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...
