Cottage Farm
OVERVIEW
Cottage Farm Historic District is one of Brookline’s most prestigious and architecturally significant neighborhoods. Tucked away, this 67-acre enclave of grand single-family homes feels like a secluded village, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. Its proximity to Boston’s Back Bay is what really separates it from every other high end suburban destination in Massachusetts.
Location
Bordered by Amory Street to the west, Dummer and Mountfort Streets to the north, and Beacon Street properties to the south, Cottage Farm—along with its neighboring area, Longwood—is the closest part of Brookline to downtown Boston, just minutes from Fenway on foot. Plus, Cottage Farm is the only original section of Brookline with direct access to the Charles River!
