>Brookline

Brookline is known for its excellent public school system. For people with kids, that justifies the insane price to live there. For a single person living in Brookline makes as much sense as burning $100 bills for heating.

OP can afford Brookline and some people think it's worth the cost. I used to live by Audubon Circle and I liked being near Coolidge Corner and Fenway, but ended up moving to Somerville cause it was much better value than Brookline at the time.

While OP can afford to live in Brookline, they can get an urban walkable environment with good public transit for much less in Jamaica Plain, Alston, Cambridge or Somerville.
