West Roxbury

A part of Boston, surrounding areas are Hyde Park, Roslindale and Jamaica Plain. It is a predominantly middle class town with blue collar workers, politicians, and city employees. It is an area where generations tend to stay and grow up (my grandparents grew up there, my parents grew up there, I grew up there, my children are growing up there). It is filled with shops, banks, Irish bars, parks, restaurants, schools, churches, and predominantly single family homes, although there are some two family homes though. It is known for excellent hockey players and football players, there are plenty of little league games as well. It is a well respected neighborhood, where generations of families are raised. The crime rate is pretty low, aside from some assault and batteries and drug charges. The police station is Area E5 and is located on the main drag called Centre Street, across from Holy Name Church. It is expensive to purchase a home in this little area of Boston. The taxes are decent and the people are friendly and this is an altogether friendly, family oriented neighborhood of Boston. Sometimes referred to as "Westy", it has one public high school, and one Catholic high school that is all boys. This neighborhood is a fantastic place to raise a family.

I am looking to buy a home in West Roxbury to raise my family.
