In addition, traditional homes range from $800,000 to $1 million with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Readville also contains newer townhomes and condominiums as well, which typically sell in the $900,000 range.Organized activities at Bosse Sports

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
