    "Hancock Village in Chestnut Hill is a good place to live overall. Sometimes the management office puts together special functions like handing out cider doughnuts in the fall, or flowers to plant - both gratis. (And more as well but too much to detail)."

    "It an a upscale and snobby neighborhood where people don’t talk to each other. We never see kids and kids make no friends in the neighborhood. Clean safe closet To Boston. Nothing around. No walking distance to anything. Supermarket and gas is over priced. "
