Chestnut Hill

For generations, this historic village has been an exclusive enclave and remains one of Boston’s most desirable places to live. Chestnut Hill is filled with luxurious estates cradled by lush greenery and is surrounded by fine dining and shopping.

Made up of sections of Boston, Newton, and Brookline, Chestnut Hill is only a short car ride from the city. With several distinct high-end shopping centers, the neighborhood is well-known for the best in brand-name fashion, home decor, jewelry, and more.

Much of Chestnut Hill is a registered historic district, and the well-maintained charm carries throughout the village. Being far removed from the Freedom Trail, and the tourists who frequent neighborhoods like Beacon Hill and Back Bay, Chestnut Hill residents can appreciate the historic ambiance without crowds clogging up sidewalks or tour buses stopping on narrow streets.
