Planting roots in South Shore suburbia
With a mix of retail hubs, highly-rated schools and quiet residential streets, the neighborhood of South Braintree is a popular destination for folks looking to make the 13-mile move out of Boston and into the South Shore suburbs. Once the site of a shocking robbery that led to the infamous national headline-making Sacco and Vanzetti criminal trial in 1920, South Braintree is today a peaceful community that, according to Kris Conrad-LaRue, an associate broker with Success! Real Estate, "has something for everyone." Born and raised in Braintree, Conrad-LaRue describes the area as "a great suburban town with a lot of history and things to do," where people put down roots and really care about their community. "It's a great place to grow up and make memories. People who grew up there tend to stay, or if they do move away, they tend to come back. It's very community-based."

A variety of homes
Along South Braintree's quiet, sidewalk-lined streets sits a selection of home options, including modern townhomes and condos, as well as charming single-family houses built from the 1920s to the early 2000s, including Cape Cods, colonials, bungalows, and ranch-style homes. "South Braintree has a larger amount of newer homes and subdivisions than East Braintree," Conrad-LaRue says. "And most of the newer single-family homes are three to four-bed colonials with a two-car garage." Home sizes range from 700 to 5,300 square feet, and prices span between $240,000 and $1.2 million.

After South Middle, students move to Braintree High, rated a B-plus and a member of the National Art Honor Society. "The education people get out of Braintree schools has always been very good," Conrad-LaRue says. "People really like the school system."

Nature hikes and hockey games
South Braintree offers plenty of opportunities to get close to nature. There's the 84-acre Cedar Swamp Conservation area - the first location in Massachusetts to be designated an Area of Critical Environmental Concern - which is not only a wildlife habitat but also an excellent spot for hiking and canoeing. The Braintree Town Forest is another peaceful hiking spot, with 130 acres of picturesque woodland with natural trails. French's Common, a smaller bit of green space next to Braintree Town Hall, is more about playing than hiking with its playground, tennis and basketball courts, baseball diamond and shady picnic spots. For indoor recreation, there's the Thayer Sports Center, a multi-use facility with tennis, pickleball, volleyball and hockey areas. Home to the Militia Hockey Club, Thayer Sports Center hosts youth hockey tournaments throughout the season. Those who prefer a club and ball over a stick and a puck can book a tee time at the Braintree Municipal Golf Course or some practice time on one of their golf simulators.
