West Roxbury - Insight Realty Group

West Roxbury, located in the southwest corner of Boston, is often described as suburban for the feel of many of the neighborhoods. Tree-lined streets are predominantly filled with single family homes. A fair mix has occurred over the last 20 years and several smaller and larger condominium developments have been added into the mix.

Much like any area of Boston, it is further broken out into sub-neighborhoods like 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, like the Highlands and Bellevue Hill. The neighborhoods are both joined and separated by the main business district that runs the length of Centre Street. Shops and restaurants line the street, as do many banks (local and national).
