West Roxbury: Quiet Corner of Boston
West Roxbury occupies the southwestern corner of Boston, bordered by Brookline, Newton, Dedham, and Roslindale. The neighborhood has a suburban feel uncommon for a Boston neighborhood, with single-family houses, tree-lined streets, and a lower density than the neighborhoods closer to downtown. Centre Street serves as the main commercial strip, with locally owned restaurants, shops, and professional offices.
Brook Farm, the utopian community founded by George Ripley and associated with the Transcendentalist movement, operated in West Roxbury from 1841 to 1847. Nathaniel Hawthorne was among its early participants before becoming disillusioned and leaving. The site, on Baker Street, is now a city park. The VA Boston Healthcare System's main campus occupies a large site on the neighborhood's northern edge.
Millennium Park, a 100-acre park built on a former landfill site, offers walking trails, athletic fields, and views of the Blue Hills. The commuter rail stops at Highland in West Roxbury, providing service to South Station. The neighborhood's population has historically been Irish-American and has maintained that character more consistently than most other parts of the city.
