Fortune magazine recognized what many of us Brookline locals already knew, that Brookline, MA is an amazing place to live! Brookline earned coveted spot number 16 in Fortune’s Top 25 Best Places to Live for Families in 2022. As the only Massachusetts municipality, and one of only two in New England to rank on the list, it’s no wonder Brookline real estate is so highly sought after.

Fortune used more than 215,000 data points for almost 2,000 American cities and towns to rank the top 25 locations that meet multigenerational family needs. Data points included things like schools, access to quality health care, public transportation, green space, and resources for aging residents. Fortune highlighted that “Brookline truly combines the best of urban and suburban living,” and noted that Brookline High School earned the GreatSchools College Success Award in 2021 and 2022.

Massachusetts’ New “Junk Fee” Regulations: What Brookline Landlords Need to Know
