Located six miles west of downtown Boston, Chestnut Hill spans three counties—Middlesex, Norfolk, and Suffolk—and includes parts of Newton, Brookline, and Boston. The area showcases landscaping designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1870s, the Boston College campus with its Collegiate Gothic architecture, and the 120-acre Chestnut Hill Reservation surrounding the reservoir.
Transportation is convenient with two MBTA Green Line branches serving the area, making Boston easily accessible. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is approximately $3,257. The area features shopping destinations like The Shops at Chestnut Hill and The Street Chestnut Hill. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate Hammond Pond Reservation's protected wetlands and forest preserve, Kennard Park's historic stone walls and mature trees, and the popular walking trail circling the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.
