Dedham history is all around
East Dedham is a neighborhood whose highlights are clear: accessibility and variety. This section of Dedham offers plenty of housing and green space beside the heart of the town, meaning it is also steeped in the area’s history. “Dedham was established in 1635 as one of Massachusetts’ first inland settlements, says Johanna McBrien, director of the Dedham Museum & Archive. “The museum houses all its history and stands as one of the most important archives in New England. I’ve been making efforts to reach out to the community to create exhibits that showcase all of Dedham and make history relevant to the people who live here.”

Hot housing market for historic homes
Houses in East Dedham range from properties that were built in the late 1800s to those built fairly recently. Common styles include Colonials, Cape Cods and Victorians. The area also features a medley of multifamily homes mixed with single-family homes. Lots are on the smaller side, so homes are situated closely together. Regardless of the space between houses, the area’s housing market is a hotspot. Connell shares her experience selling a two-bedroom Cape Cod home that was built in 1952 and renovated in 2015: “I had 85 people through, 11 offers and the seller did very well.” Houses such as this often sell between $550,000 and $900,000, but condominiums and town houses run between $350,000 and $500,000.
East Dedham is a great place for those looking for a quiet town not far from Boston.

Rivers, canals and Little League games
Green spaces abound around East Dedham, offering residents areas to relax, walk around and reflect on life. As fate would have it, many of these green spaces are actually cemeteries, but there are plenty of traditional parks too. Condon Park and Mill Pond Park both border Mother Brook, which McBrien shares is one of the oldest industrial canals.” Condon Park is larger, roughly 7 acres, with athletic fields and a playground. “It’s always busy,” local Realtor Denise Connell of Donahue Real Estate Co. Connell says. “There are always children playing there. They also have ball fields, so Little League plays there.” Mill Pond Park has a fishing platform where residents like to sit and can catch largemouth bass. On the west side of the neighborhood is the winding Charles River and Barnes Memorial Park. During the summertime, the park’s parking lots and fields are full of baseball, softball and soccer players and their spectators; the space is also a popular spot for community and holiday events, like the annual easter egg hunt.
Barnes Memorial Park in Dedham is another popular park for baseball lovers.

Schools in East Dedham
A key benefit of East Dedham’s location, besides its proximity to Boston, is its proximity to schools. While many students attend private institutions, public education is just as important and accessible. McBrien says that Dedham was actually “the first town in Massachusetts to vote for a publicly supported school, and just a year later, public schooling became widely available throughout the state.” Children are within walking distance of Avery Elementary School, which has a B-minus on Niche. Students continue their education at the B-rated Dedham Middle School, which has various clubs, including an A Capella club and a literary magazine. High schoolers attend Dedham High School, which earns an A-minus Niche score. The school hosts annual awards recognizing outstanding student filmmaking, with categories such as mini-biographies, mock commercials, animations and music videos.
