Brookline, MA - Awesome 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 21, 2011) Brookline is awesome. I have lived in Brookline for many years now and the best part of living here is being able to jump on the commuter rail to go to Boston whenever I want. The commuter rail runs daily and takes around 15-20 minutes to reach Boston.

The nightlife in Brookline ...Read More is amazing. Bars and clubs stay open until very late, seven days a week. No matter what day it is I can always find a good club or bar to go to. There is also a huge mall located right in the city. The mall has many high-end shops to shop at as well as discount stores. Many outlets are also nearby.

Many great restaurants are located throughout the central village section of Brookline. I love this section of the city because there are many sushi restaurants in this section.

Brookline is pretty safe and I have never had an encounter with any sort of violent crime since I have been living here. The city is great and filled with diversity. I would not choose to live anywhere else in the world. The only thing that I really don't like is that the city is extremely busy and driving around the city is difficult. This is why I choose to walk everywhere. Read Less
