West Roxbury is a cozy neighborhood located in the confines of the city of Boston. Though it’s within the city, it acts more like a nearby suburb that is desirable to young families and retired couples. Short distance travel to Boston nightlife, attractions, and job/schools!
West Roxbury is a nicer area of Boston, but for what you gain in safety and family friendliness, you sacrifice for distance from downtown, no nightlife, and high prices. The school system is good if you can afford private schools, but otherwise its still included in the Boston public school system, and West Roxbury High School is one of the worse and more dangerous schools in that system.
West Roxbury is a family orientated town they have public and private schools. The restaurants have their own take on how to cook food, bakeries know all the locals if it is your first time they will make an impression that will have you come back for more! Police and fire patrol the town and are very friendly with everyone.
