West Roxbury

Once known as Westerly, or South Street, this community of tree-lined streets along the Charles River has maintained its small-town charm even as it has grown from rural roots over the past century and a half. West Roxbury was also the home of Brook Farm, a Utopian community founded by Reverend Ripley that attracted such literary figures as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Horace Greeley.
