Burlington Town Center is a suburban hub outside of Boston
Between its destination parks, active outdoor event space and busy business strips, Burlington Town Center is as central to community life in Burlington as its name suggests. Connected to quiet single-family subdivisions like many Boston suburbs, Burlington's long-term corporate and commercial developments have supplied residents with an outsized number of amenities and perks. “You can’t beat the taxes in Burlington,” says Michael Austin, a broker at the Austin Realty Group and a lifelong resident of Burlington. “We have a really strong commercial base, which keeps the property taxes down. Our recreation commission has this great budget to do things for our kids, there are a lot of activities on the Town Common, restaurants are coming up everywhere – there's a lot going on in town.”
Burlington Town Center offers many parks and a great place to call home.

Suburban streets and homes developed from the midcentury through the 2020s
The tree-canopied hills that roll through Burlington Town Center are filled with quiet suburban streets. Dead-end roads and grassy blocks were popular development trends from the 1950s through the 1970s, lined by a blend of ranch-style homes, Cape Cods, split-levels and colonials. Prices for these older homes typically range from around $650,000 to $1 million, though large and updated homes can go for more. More expansive new traditional homes built in cul-de-sac subdivisions from the 1990s through 2010s sell for around $1.1 million to $1.6 million. Sprawling new construction from the 2020s can go from around $1.4 million to $2.3 million. Buyers can also find townhouses in a handful of communities for around $830,000 to $900,000. Several large apartment complexes give the neighborhood a fairly even split between renters and homeowners.

Shopping and dining on Cambridge Street and at the Burlington Mall
Concentrated near its intersection with Winn Street, Cambridge Street is lined with a strip mall commercial district. Shoppers stop into Shaw’s and the Used Book Superstore, the largest used bookstore in New England. Along the same road, diners hit the vegetarian buffet at Mehfil Indian Cuisine or sit down at the upscale steakhouse chain, Mooo.... Many other commercial centers are a mile or two outside the neighborhood, most notably the Burlington Mall. Since early development projects like the second-floor expansion of the 1980s, Burlington Mall has continued supporting classic tenants like Nordstrom and Macy’s while also adapting to modern retail trends. Some of the newest projects include a satellite wellness plaza and The Park at Burlington Mall, a collection of sitting areas and greens that host exercise classes and social events. Shopping centers line roads around the mall, anchored by chains like Target and Trader Joe's.

Events at the Town Common
Burlington community events take place on the Town Common’s lawn and in its central gazebo. “Every year we have Truck Day. Firefighters, police officers, other businesspeople, they come from all over. The Town Common is packed. They let all the kids get in the cabs and blow the horns all day long. It could give Aspirin a headache. The kids have a blast. My office is near the Common; I work somewhere else on Truck Day,” Austin says. Other sounds define other celebrations at the Town Common, from the booming fireworks that end each Burlington Day festival to the strains of live musicians and other entertainers that return each week for the Burlington Summer Shows. Several houses of worship hold religious services and events throughout Burlington Town Center, including Temple Shalom Emeth and Mount Hope Christian Center.
