Communities I serve

I work north of Boston, in the cities I know street by street. Here's an honest look at each one — what the housing stock is like, how you get into the city, and who tends to buy there.

Everett, MA

A dense, diverse city just north of Boston that has changed quickly over the last decade. Everett's housing is dominated by two- and three-family homes, which makes it one of the more accessible entry points into the market for owner-occupants and small investors.

·Two- and three-family homes throughout
·Bus routes and easy access to Route 16 and I-93
·Lower entry prices than neighboring Boston
·Popular with owner-occupant investors

Malden, MA

Malden pairs a walkable downtown with quiet residential streets and a genuinely international mix of restaurants and shops. The Orange Line makes it a straightforward commute into downtown Boston, which keeps demand steady across price points.

·Orange Line service at Malden Center and Oak Grove
·Walkable downtown with an international food scene
·Mix of condos, Colonials, and multi-families
·Commuter rail as a second option

Medford, MA

Medford spans a lot of ground and a lot of price points, from the condos and rentals near Wellington to the classic single-family neighborhoods further north. Tufts University anchors one side of the city and keeps the rental market active.

·Orange Line and Green Line Extension service
·Strong rental demand near Tufts
·Wide range of housing from condos to large singles
·Mystic River parkland and trails

Revere, MA

Revere is the coastal option in this group, built around the oldest public beach in the country. Blue Line access and a steady pipeline of new construction near the water have made it one of the more active markets north of the city.

·Revere Beach and Blue Line stations
·New construction and condo inventory
·Quick access to Logan Airport
·Established single-family neighborhoods inland

Chelsea, MA

Small, dense, and extremely well connected — Chelsea is minutes from downtown Boston and Logan. It has long been an investor's market thanks to its multi-family housing stock, with steadily improving transit and public spaces.

·Silver Line and commuter rail service
·Multi-family investment inventory
·Minutes from downtown Boston and the airport
·Compact, walkable neighborhoods

Melrose, MA

The quietest of the group, Melrose is known for its Victorian-era homes, a tidy downtown along Main Street, and a strong sense of community. It appeals to buyers trading up from the denser cities nearby who still want a rail commute.

·Commuter rail into North Station
·Victorian and Colonial single-family homes
·Walkable Main Street downtown
·Middlesex Fells Reservation on the doorstep
