Cleveland Circle offers access to Boston's hotspots

Cleveland Circle is a convenient community, and some may say it’s home to the best pizza in Boston. This Brookline neighborhood has quite a few Boston College students, but there’s more to Cleveland Circle than keggers and tailgates. With access to several parks, “it’s a beautiful blend of urban and suburban,” says Joan Solomont, Realtor with Coldwell Banker and resident of Brookline for 47 years. “You’re close to Boston College, and you can also get on the T and go anywhere — The Museum of Fine Arts, shopping on Newbury Street, the Financial District and even Fenway Park.” When the original trolley line was added in the late 1800s, mansions and row houses sprang up alongside the tracks. Today, a mix of the original row houses and late 1900s condos provide housing to those who enjoy Cleveland Circle’s location and amenities.

Historic row houses and late 1900s condos comprise Cleveland Circle housing options

Housing in Cleveland Circle consists of multi-family options that vary in age and condition. Elegantly curved historic brick bow-front rowhouses are interspersed with the stark, clean-lined facades of 1970s-era brick condo buildings. Units in the newer condos generally list between $750,000 and $850,000, but those in tastefully remodeled historic rowhouses often sell in the $1.2 million to $1.7 million range.

Pino's famous pizza and gigantic burgers at Eagle's Deli & Restaurant

On Beacon Street, a strip of popular restaurants offers residents quick meal options. Pino’s on Beacon Street has been in business since 1962, and in that time, has won many awards and recognitions. Despite this, diners won’t see any plaques hanging on the walls because the owner prefers to let the food speak for itself. Next door to it is Eagle’s Deli & Restaurant, which has garnered media attention for its “gigantic” 6-pound challenge burger. Solomont mentions that Washington Square, which is just a short walk or a quick trip on the T, is a hot spot for dining out. One of its newest additions is Bar Vlaha, which specializes in Vlachian-style Greek cuisine; patrons can feast on hearty feta pies, fava beans and slow-roasted lamb. Those wanting to prepare their own culinary masterpieces can find Star Market within a short walk of most area homes; other shopping is accessible via the T.

Cheering on Boston Marathon runners as they make their way down Beacon Street

There is always something to do in the city, from Boston Red Socks games at Fenway Park to performances at Symphony Hall. Each April, locals can cheer on Boston Marathon runners as they make their final push down Beacon Street. To see Fourth of July fireworks, residents can take the T to the Charles River Esplanade, Solomont says.

Brookline High School scores an A-plus on Niche

When the morning bell rings, the neighborhood’s kindergarten through eighth-grade students head to the John D. Runkle School, which gets an A on Niche. Runkle School students participate in cross-grade partnerships, which often occur in reading, poetry and science. These partnerships give younger students someone to look up to and older students the opportunity to serve as mentors. After completing their studies at Runkle, students may attend A-plus-rated Brookline High School, the No. 1 public high school in Norfolk County, according to Niche. The Boston area is also rich with private school opportunities — some highly accredited schools in the vicinity include Dexter Southfield and Beaver Country Day School, both of which receive A-plus Niche scores.

Plenty of place to play at Jean B. Waldstein Playground

The Cleveland Circle community is home to the Jean B. Waldstein Playground, which offers a splash pad, play structures and, most importantly, ample green space. “It’s a phenomenal park,” Solomont says. “One of the beautiful things about Brookline is that you’re never more than a five-minute walk from a park.” Just west of Cleveland Circle is the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, surrounded by a walking path and the Reilly Memorial Recreation Center. In summer, locals can swim in their outdoor pool; during winter months, the indoor skating rink is open for free skating when it isn’t being used by youth hockey teams.

Pick up the Green Line and head to downtown

On Beacon Street and Chestnut Hill Avenue, locals can catch the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (the T) C and D Green Line trains, respectively. There are also bike lanes along Beacon Street, as well as well-maintained sidewalks and crosswalks for those who prefer to get around on foot. Though the neighborhood has a pharmacy, grocery stores and a couple of picturesque stone churches, access to nearby Boston College and the rest of downtown Boston are major draws.

Furry residents can mingle in Cleveland Circle before heading to the park for a run.
