FAQs
1. Why is everyone talking about Brookline right now?
It’s the sweet spot, close to Boston but with better schools, quieter streets, and shiny new buildings also homes are selling crazy fast – like, 18 days fast.
2. Isn’t Brookline just a more expensive Boston?
Nope! You get way more space (no shoebox apartments), no city income tax, and actual trees. Even the “expensive” new builds have perks like free coffee bars and dog spas.
3. What’s so great about the new condo buildings?
Think – hotel living. Rooftop workspaces, someone else deals with your dry cleaning, and you’ll never fight for parking again (looking at you, Boston).
4. I work from home—will I be stuck in my apartment?
Not a chance. Most new spots have coworking lounges, and Coolidge Corner’s cafés are basically remote offices with better pastries.
5. Are the schools really that good?
Yes, Your kid could be fluent in Mandarin and top of their class at the #2 high school in Massachusetts.
6. How bad is the commute to Boston?
20 minutes on the T to downtown. Or bike – there are Blue bikes everywhere. (Way cheaper than downtown parking.)
7. Should I wait to buy until prices drop?
Prices aren’t dropping. But rates might later this year, so buying now means you can refinance later and snag those move-in bonuses (like free parking).
8. Will I have to fight for a house?
Probably. Good places get 5+ offers. Pro tip: Work with a local agent who knows about listings before they hit Zillow.
9. What’s there to do besides stare at fancy buildings?
Farmers markets, indie movie theaters, and the Emerald Necklace (1,100 acres of parks). It’s like Brooklyn, but you can actually hear birds.
10. How do I get into one of these new buildings?
Text Paolo at 857-424-0141. He’ll get you early access, negotiate the scary stuff, and probably recommend the best bagel spot nearby.
