West Roxbury, located in the southwest corner of Boston, is often described as “suburban” with many wide, tree-lined streets and a feeling of a bit more space than Rozzie or JP. Over the past 20 years, its primarily single-family and two-family housing stock has seen the arrival of condominiums and a few larger multi-unit buildings, with more under construction on Weld, Centre and the VFW Parkway. West Roxbury districts include historic Brook Farm, the Highlands, Bellevue Hill and the Grove to name a few. Each has unique characteristics and some may even parallel each other in feel, such as the Highlands and Bellevue Hill, both with easy access to the Centre Street business district. With its blend of neighborhoods and housing stock, West Roxbury fits the bill for folks who want the convenience of city living with a little less hustle and bustle.
