Suburban living just south of Boston
Dedham Village sits at the heart of Dedham, a New England town about 15 miles outside of Boston. Many homebuyers are attracted to the community for its proximity to highways, area MBTA stations and convenient distance to the capital city. The neighborhood is also central to many of the town’s retail centers, including Dedham Mall, Legacy Place and stores along Boston Providence Highway. Historic homes from the 19th century and reputable private schools also draw people to the neighborhood. “Dedham is a great community with a wonderful downtown area,” says Prudence Hay, a Realtor at Rutledge Properties. “Compared to Wellesley, Dedham has a lot more smaller homes. It’s very desirable right now for its proximity to both the Cape and to Boston.”
