It\u2019s the perfect in-between location for quality housing, good food and activities, and a (relatively) short commute on the MBTA Green Line C train.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a lot of families living in the area, Brookline is quieter than many other parts of the city. If you\u2019re looking to step away from the noise and bustle of undergraduate life, Brookline is the place for you. A group of three renting in the town can expect to pay<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/brooklinepads.com\/average-rent-prices-in-brookline\/\"> around $1-1.5k each per month<\/a>, <\/strong>which is cheaper than areas closer to campus and about average for<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zumper.com\/rent-research\/boston-ma\">Boston overall<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what makes Brookline, Brookline?
