| Roslindale.
Once considered a “garden suburb” of Boston, today’s residents of Roslindale
are still attracted to the neighborhood’s natural beauty. Locals walk and
bike in the Arnold Arboretum, a 265-acre oasis that is part of Frederick
Law Olmstead’s Emerald Necklace. Many of the neighborhoods’ large colonial
homes are being converted into condos to accommodate the influx of young
professionals and families. Roslindale Village is the city’s original Main
Street district and now one of the city’s most vibrant, featuring several
bistros, unique shops, and wireless Internet access. The MBTA Orange Line
and Commuter Rail provide commuters with easy access to downtown. More
