West Roxbury is a leafy, residential Boston neighborhood with a quiet, suburban vibe—tree-lined streets, local cafés, community restaurants, and parks—making it an easy, pleasant place to spend multi-week assignments where you’ll feel settled, safe, and part of a neighborhood rather than stuck downtown.
You’re also never far from big-city action: downtown Boston and Cambridge are a short drive or transit ride away for museums, nightlife, and diverse dining, so you get peaceful living plus quick access to major attractions.
