Known as one of the best neighborhoods to live in Boston, West Roxbury has a lot to offer!

West Roxbury is a neighborhood within Boston’s city limits. It’s about a 30-minute commute into the middle of the city, and it still offers quality parks, coffee shops, restaurants, and other neighborhood services.

The Laurel is just 2 blocks from Draper Park/Pool and 1.4 miles from the Stony Brook Reservation, where you can explore the quiet forest trails and enjoy many other activities.

This small forest in the middle of Boston offers activities to the whole family. Explore the trails on foot or bike, or head to Turtle Pond for some fishing. In the park's southern end, you'll find athletic fields and a pool and spray deck. Learn more: https://www.mass.gov/locations/stony-brook-reservation
