Fisher Hill
"This is one exclusive area!"
Fisher Hill is one of the most picturesque areas of Brookline. It's all tree-lined roads and large house lots including some very large estates. This is a very upscale area primarily inhabited by
old money or newer moguls and is considered rather exclusive. One of the largest estates, Longyear, has been turned into luxury condos and is pretty amazing. It's one of those places you strive to live in!
For the average person, a trip to the old Fisher Hill reservoir after a walk around the neighborhood, is about as close as you'll get. The reservoir is abandoned and usually most of it is dry, but what fun to see a little wild greenspace. Fisher Hill is a must see - just for the beauty and dreams of living there.
