On the Market on Cummings Road

Cummings Road is another quiet, tree-lined street in Brighton that feels a bit like an unpolished gem. It has great potential — some nice Victorians and Tudors, close to Brookline, and more on-street parking than your average Brighton street.

Yet, the street never quite gets the same respect as shady and elegant Kilsyth Road, just around the corner. My guess is there may be too many student parties on Cummings. Still, this modest little road, though a bit uneven in housing stock, is worth checking out. Many large large homes make the area perfect for families; there’s even an elementary school around the block.

Shopping’s easy — there’s a Whole Foods and Star Market within walking distance, parking here isn’t much of an issue, and the B and C lines are just a few blocks away. For prices considerably less than other parts of Boston, you get a great location, beautiful greenery, and lots of space.

It just may be that Cummings Road is worth a second look.
