• As Brookline ages, can seniors afford to stay? (brookline.news) — Brookline's senior population is growing fast, and many older residents worry rising housing costs and property taxes could force them out of town. A new UMass Boston survey of more than 2,000 Brookline seniors highlights high housing burdens, limited downsizing options, and feelings of isolation, while local leaders and advocates debate how town services and policies must adapt.
• What Are the Top Public High Schools in Greater Boston? (wror.com) — Brookline residents can take pride that Brookline High School landed in Boston magazine's top 10 public high schools for 2026 in Greater Boston.
