Independent shops on the main streets

Brookline’s retail is on its main streets, not in malls. Coolidge Corner, around Harvard Street and Beacon Street, is lined with busy stores, an independent bookstore among them, and the shops continue up Harvard Street toward JFK Crossing. Store work here means the sales floor, stocking, the register and helping customers.

Brookline Village, where Washington Street meets Harvard Street just north of Route 9, is a district of family-owned shops, and Washington Square on Beacon Street has a smaller run of stores. For malls and larger stores, the Route 9 shopping centers in Chestnut Hill are just over the line in Newton, at the end of the 60 bus.
