"Known for beautiful homes and landscaping"

Corey Hill is an upscale neighborhood in the city of Brookline, Massachusetts. The Corey Hill area has been home to several famous musicians, actors, and wealthy business people. Famous residents include Larry Bird, Barbara Walters, Michael Dukakis, and John F. Kennedy. Brookline is sometimes dubbed as the “Richest Town in America.” Corey Hill has all the amenities such as shopping and restaurants. Israeli and Russian cuisines are prevalent due to the large immigrant populations.

One of the best spots in Corey Hill is its namesake that provides one of the best views in the entire region. Walking up one of the three paths to the top of Corey Hill is like something out of a movie. The lush and dense tree canopy gives you a feeling like you’ve been transported to a different world until you reach the summit and can enjoy what is arguably the best view in the Brookline/Boston area.

"Fantastic for fireworks"

Corey Hill at 260 feet above sea level is not only one of the great Boston neighborhoods, but it's got some of the best views anywhere in the city. A trek to the top of the summit provides some of the most incredible views over Cambridge and The Charles.

The walk up isn't for the faint hearted but once there, it's a perfect place to hang out for a while - year round. The area has such an international feel to it with beautiful homes and some larger new apartment buildings. It's one of those places residents don't ever like to leave. Besides, there's no place like it for watching the 4th of July fireworks over Boston Harbor!
