WHAT IS CHESTNUT HILL?

For those who don't know, Chestnut Hill is an overlay neighborhood across three towns/cities. Predominantly lying over parts of Newton and Brookline, but also transcending a small slice of Boston's Brighton neighborhood, the area is historically significant and has grown into an especially desirable suburban respite since its more humble agricultural beginnings. All of Chestnut Hill, regardless of which municipality it falls in, shares the 02467 zip code.

We’ve spent time curating all of the “estate style” sales from Chestnut Hill (Brookline section) over the last five years. While 90+ percent of real estate sales data in Massachusetts remains part of the public record (via the relevant county’s Registry of Deeds), most consumers know that coming across good and actionable comparable sales data is easier said than done. Even if you have a broker who you believe is well versed in the sales history, getting your hands on the actual data, pictures and anecdotes of each sale is rather complex. Naturally, this includes both on market sales (posted on MLS) and off-market sales which can take many different shapes and sizes.
