West Roxbury is bordered by the Boston neighborhoods of Roslindale, Hyde Park and Jamaica Plain and the towns of Dedham and Brookline. One of West Roxbury's main features is its suburban feel: Houses on relatively large lots, with tree-lined parkways and large parks, including Stony Brook Reservation and Millennium Park. It is also home to dozens of cemeteries, many of them Jewish. West Roxbury is known for being a safe neighborhood with a large Irish-American population. West Roxbury is also home to a large majority of Boston's civil servants. Sometimes referred to as "Westie" by its more territorial, younger residents.
<div class="p"></div>West Roxbury hosts an array of beautiful traditional Victorian Style homes.  Even the police station is located in a cozy home style setting.  <a href="http://roxbury.ma.povo.com/Centre_Street">Centre Street</a>, which runs from West Roxbury to Jamaica Plain anchors the neighborhood's business district, which consists of restaurants, banks and shops - and a number of funeral homes. 
<div class="p"></div>Residents flock to Millennium Park, a former landfill that has been converted into 100 acres of trails, ball fields, and picnic areas.  The park is currently the site for the Boston Area Sport Kite Championships. Bellevue Hill, at 338 feet, is the highest natural point in the city of Boston. Stony Brook Reservation, on the Hyde Park line, is a 475-acre forest.

West Roxbury, located in Boston's southwest corner, was originally part of the town of Roxbury, until it seceded from the town in 1852 and annexed by Boston in 1874. Within West Roxbury was an experimental Utopian society in the 19th century called Brook Farm, that was created by George and Sophia Ripley and frequented by such notable writers as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. The community only lasted until 1846.
<div class="p"></div>Originally used for farming, West Roxbury has grown with the addition of railroads, and thus the economy that followed.
