Sure, don’t know if this makes sense for you but I stayed at a long term Airbnb a couple months while house hunting. Check out your commute times on google-you’re close to commuter rail but it doesn’t run as often as the T. There are plenty of sidewalks and not too much traffic over there for dog walking. There are also some nice small parks and playgrounds in Roxbury. In terms of places to go out, there are more over by the Savin hill station. But if you don’t mind driving a little bit there’s plenty of stuff in south end.
