Zip code 02135 is Brighton: a leafy, residential Boston neighborhood with four-season New England weather (crisp falls, snowy winters, warm summers) and rolling streets that slope toward the Charles River. Expect a friendly mix of longtime families, young professionals, and students, plus a low-key nightlife centered on pubs and eateries around Brighton Center, Oak Square, and Cleveland Circle. Daily life is convenient: Whole Foods on Washington St, Star Market at Cleveland Circle, coffee staples like Cafenation and Fuel America, the Oak Square YMCA, and parks such as Chestnut Hill Reservoir’s loop, Chandler Pond, Rogers Park, and Brighton Common. The Dining Scene spans cozy pubs like Corrib and Stockyard to tapas at Tasca, with Boston Landing amenities and the TRACK at New Balance nearby. Transit is easy via the MBTA Green Line (B and C), 57/65 buses, and express buses 501/503; drivers connect quickly to the Pike and Soldiers Field Rd. Pet friendly with ample green spaces and walkable streets. According to Zillow’s Rental Manager market trends, recent months show a median asking rent around $3,050, with most listings ranging $2,400–$4,200 depending on size.

Convenient access to buses, trains, and public transit for easy commuting.
