A historic neighborhood where location is paramount
Just south of downtown Boston, the East Braintree neighborhood has had a long and storied history, with famous figures like John Adams and John Hancock born less than a mile from the neighborhood. The Boston area then seemed to grow and evolve while still maintaining a close connection to the historic area. This created both nearby shopping and dining just a short distance from the oak-lined streets of this residential neighborhood, helping it stand the test of time and become a staple in Massachusetts. “Location is paramount in Braintree; you can’t get much better anywhere else,” says Erin Matlack, a former Braintree resident and Realtor with LAER Realty Partners who has been serving the area for over five years. “The area is affluent due to its location but not as expensive as other parts of Braintree.”

Historic houses with modern renovations
Due to East Braintree's size and location, there is a variety of housing for homebuyers to choose from. Historic Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods, bungalows and split-level houses are the most common styles throughout the neighborhood. Homes often have private backyards and neatly manicured front yards with plenty of space for driveways and street parking along the narrow, older streets. Newer homes tend to have garages for additional storage, and many homeowners have had added in-ground pools. Prices for homes can range from around $450,000 to $1.1 million.

Commuter rails, expressways, and metros
East Braintree’s location is considered ideal because it’s “situated at the bottom of the expressway,” Matlack says. This area is where the expressway splits into two, making access to downtown Boston or The Cape a simple feat. For those who do not wish to drive, the neighborhood’s location is less than 3 miles from the East Braintree/Weymouth Landing commuter rail line and Braintree T station. The community is also considered “absolutely walkable,” Matlack says. “There are lots of dog walkers around the area.” For trips outside of Boston, Logan International Airport is 16 miles north, which is about a 30 minute drive.
East Braintree is easily accessible to the major highways of Boston.

Braintree Public Schools serves the neighborhood's students and its “schools are widely known for being superior,” Matlack says. Students can start their education either at Morrison Elementary School, which receives an A-minus rating on Niche, or at Donald Ross Elementary School, which earns a B rating. The schools then converge, and students continue on to East Middle School, which receives an A-minus rating, and then finish up at the B-plus rated Braintree High School. Locals can also choose private school options such as the A-plus rated Thayer Academy, one of the top 10 private high schools in Norfolk County.

Serene trails and baseball diamonds
True to its name, Pond Meadow Park provides a wide variety of meadows and a 20-acre pond. Naturalists delight in fishing, hiking, camping and canoeing along the water, and joggers and bikers can make use of the over 2-mile-long paved bike path. To many locals, it is “a favorite dog walking place,” Matlack says. “In fact, I was just there a couple of days ago.” Splashers and sluggers alike can find a whole day’s worth of fun at Watson Park, home to the East Braintree Little League program and a new splash pad to help beat the summer heat right along the Weymouth Fore River. The park is only for residents and their guests and “is definitely the place to go,” Matlack says.
