Challenging to Investors
Brookline Regulations
Brookline permits STRs only when the operator lives in the unit as a primary residence, caps rentals at 90 days per year (extendable to 180), and requires a $275 registration fee, multiple inspections, and $1 million liability insurance, creating moderate permitting costs and operational limits that make the market challenging for investors.

About Brookline
Brookline is a town in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States, and part of the Boston metropolitan area. Brookline borders six of Boston's neighborhoods: Brighton, Allston, Fenway–Kenmore, Mission Hill, Jamaica Plain, and West Roxbury. The city of Newton lies to the west of Brookline. Brookline was first settled in 1638 as a hamlet in Boston, known as Muddy River; it was incorporated as a separate town in 1705. At the time of the 2020 census, the population of the town was 63,191. It has been the most populous municipality in Massachusetts to have a town (rather than city) form of government since Framingham changed to a city in 2018, following a 2017 referendum.
