      My family and I absolutely love living here! A very friendly community, with plenty of privacy. The school system is one of the top rated in the state, and plenty of shopping options in nearby Nashua and Amherst.

      The town of Brookline is a great rural area that feels like home immediately when you enter it. Although the taxes are high, the community is tight knit and extremely friendly. There are plenty of activities to do in the small town of Brookline. There are family owned restaurants, a church, a lake to go boating and fishing, snow mobile trails, an outdoor ice skating rink in the winter, ball parks, and playgrounds. Also, the education is absolutely amazing. Hollis Brookline High School is in the top 5 best schools in New Hampshire.
      Very well kept and clean. They try to keep up with the historical side of the town; My apartment building used to be a hotel back in 1853! There's also Andres Institute of Art which is a fun hiking trail with sculptures from around the world bordering the trails. The community is very close knit and neighborly, also.
