Avon Homes for Rent

Avon, a small town 21 miles south of Boston, has the smallest land area and population of any community in the region. Even with the roar of State Route 24 along the western side of town, the community is defined by small and quiet streets lined with colonials and split levels that are a short drive or walk away from daily necessities. These include the established schools and popular dining spots along the town’s major roads. Avon also has a variety of green spaces and annual events that bring neighbors and friends together. “People come here for the convenience, and they stay for the community,” says Kevin Fitzgerald, a real estate consultant with SUCCESS! Real Estate who has served the community since 1989. “Anything that goes on, everybody knows about it.” Many Avon homes were built in the early to mid-1900s, with common designs being Cape Cods, colonials, ranch styles and split levels. Prices can range from $350,000 to $800,000. Fitzgerald notes that everything sells quickly because of the smaller market and the town's location. Homes are set on larger lots with plenty of space in the front as well as room in the back for a garage and a playset under the shade of red maple
