Find a desirable suburbia in Boston
Nestled within Hyde Park, Boston’s southernmost neighborhood, Readville is an area filled with homes that can be obtained at relatively accessible price points. “The area has more of a residential setting compared to downtown Boston,” says Mary Ellen McDonough, a Realtor with Donahue Real Estate Co., who has been selling homes for over two decades. Readville is also a community that is seeing its share of commercial investment, while also just being 13 miles away from downtown Boston. “It’s a highly sought location,” says Brian Clinton, a Realtor for Donahue Real Estate Co., who is also a lifelong Boston resident. Many people utilize the commuter rail system to get to work in downtown Boston, to major employers such as the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston University and the Amazon Prime Warehouse.
A mix of home styles in Readville
Most of the homes that fill those properties were built after 1950, according to Clinton. “It’s a bedroom community, meaning there are lots of single-family homes,” says Clinton. “Readville is a well-established, generational type of neighborhood.” Colonials and Cape Cods are found around the community, ranging from $450,000 to $850,000 with modest porches and backyards. 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.
