**Centrally located between the three major local universities (Boston College, Boston University, and Harvard, the Allston/Brighton area is largely populated by students, young professionals, and families alike).** An abundant amount of public transportation makes for easy travel throughout the city. The area boasts everything from upscale eateries and pool halls to specialty shops and ethnic grocery stores. There’s rarely a quiet moment in this neighborhood, with foot traffic pounding the pavement through all hours of the day.
