Neighborhoods
Our home neighborhood of Roslindale possesses a combination of cultural diversity and pastoral beauty that you won’t find in many other Boston neighborhoods. The neighborhood’s downtown has undergone a renaissance, and is now know as Roslindale Village. The Distraction Brewing Co. opened its doors earlier this year, while a classic mainstay like Romano’s Pizzeria and Taqueria is an ideal spot for a slice or burrito. In the summer there is outdoor seating for many restaurants downtown and a farmers market with live music.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of “Rozzie” is that the area still manages to do what many other parts of Boston fail at: maintaining a true “neighborhood” feel. Roslindale residents are a mixed bag of families with deep roots in the neighborhood, young professionals, older retirees, and hipsters (chances are you’ll spot a fedora or two). Rozzie’s plentiful green spaces are truly beloved—particularly the south end of the pristinely maintained Arnold Arboretum, which dips into Roslindale from Jamaica Plain.
