Hiking the Stony Brook Reservation
Draper Playground is well-loved for its abundance of open space; residents like to visit to picnic, play on the playground and run around the athletic fields. For hiking, locals can head to the 475-acre Stony Brook Reservation, which includes the trails off Enneking Parkway and Bellevue Hill Park. “A big selling point of this neighborhood is that it’s right down the street from Bellevue Park,” says Michelle Lane, Realtor at Michelle Lane Real Estate who has sold in the area before. “It’s mostly just woods, but there’s lots of walking paths, and people like to take their dogs for walks in there.” Havey Beach is also a popular spot. Locals like to launch boats and kayaks onto the Charles River from the area, and it also features a year-round indoor ice rink.

Homes for first-timers and empty-nesters
Houses represent a diverse mix of properties built during the 20th and 21st centuries. “There was a midcentury building boom in the area,” says Realtor Steve Morris of LAER Realty Partners, “so there is a solid smattering of homes from that era in particular.” Cape Cods and colonials are some of the styles common to the neighborhood. The smaller midcentury options on the Spring Street side serve as good starter or empty-nester homes for people looking to downsize. Residential corridors on the Spring Street side tend to be organized in a grid fashion, while winding streets are more the norm on the Upper Washington side. Home prices encompass a wide range, anywhere from $600,000 to about $1 million.
